[TYPO3-dev] New version scheme for system extensions

[Xavier Perseguers]

Hi,

This makes me think that I did not update the corresponding page for
DBAL (still referencing SVN):

http://forge.typo3.org/projects/extension-dbal/wiki/Project_Organization

But it always was clear for DBAL:

----------
Bleeding-edge version of DBAL on an "old" TYPO3

If you want to use the bleeding-edge version of DBAL, regardless of the
TYPO3 version you use, you should consider performing these steps:

    Replace files t3lib/class.t3lib_db.php, t3lib/class.t3lib_sqlparser
and t3lib/db/class.t3lib_db_preparedstatement.php with those from TYPO3
trunk
    Check-out trunk version of DBAL into typo3conf/ext/dbal/
    You may consider copying the adodb extension too, if the one in
trunk is more up-to-date

Please note that this should work but is totally unsupported though!
----------

This last phrase is basically the same for each and every system extension!
