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@nst-repo dev]$ svn update
Updating '.':
At revision 11990.
[nst@nst-repo dev]$ svn commit
[nst@nst-repo dev]$ svn status -u
Status against revision:   11990
[nst@nst-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):

USERID=YOUR_USERID
svn cp svn+ssh://${USERID}@svn.code.sf.net/p/nst/code/dev/36 svn+ssh://${USERID}@svn.code.sf.net/p/nst/code/repo/36

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@nst-repo dev]$ svn info https://svn.code.sf.net/p/nst/code/dev/36

[nst@nst-repo dev]$

In the output above, we see that the dev area is at revision 11991 as is the repo. Had the repo area been at revision lower than 11991, a merge will be required. To perform the merge, follow the instructions found on the Subversion Notes page.
