Final Merge From Development Area

Before building a release, make sure that all of the updates to your development area have committed and merged into the repo.

To verify that your dev area is up to date and committed:

[nst@nst24-repo dev]$ svn update
Updating '.':
At revision 10230.
[nst@nst24-repo dev]$ svn commit
[nst@nst24-repo dev]$ svn status -u
Status against revision:   10230
[nst@nst24-repo dev]$ 

If you have not created the repo area yet for release, do so now with an svn cp command similar to the following (replace USERID with your SourceForge login):

svn cp svn+ssh://USERID@svn.code.sf.net/p/nst/code/dev/28 svn+ssh://USERID@svn.code.sf.net/p/nst/code/repo/28

Use the svn info command to verify that the Last Changed Rev value in the repo area is greater than or equal to the value in the dev area.

[nst@nst24-repo dev]$ svn info https://nst.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/nst/dev/24

In the output above, we see that the dev area is at revision 7967 as is the repo. Had the repo area been at revision lower than 7967, a merge will be required. To perform the merge, follow the instructions found on the Subversion Notes page.
