[Vtigercrm-developers] vtiger CRM 5.0.1 Released

[Joe Bordes]

Hi Dennis,

The general lines are something like this:

You need to know your initial SVN version, from where you started
modifications. This is probably 9535 or similar. You can get a clue
typing "svn info" in your 5.0.0 vanilla

Now you get into your development copy and type:

svn merge -r9535:9621
http://vtiger.fosslabs.com/svn/vtiger/vtigercrm/branches/5.0.1

This will take your development version from 9535 to 9621, and it will
do it in your working directory, so it will update and merge the new
code with your existing code.

Now you have to go over the list that svn gave you and check all the
lines that start with "C", these are the files svn could not update
(conflict), so you have to fix the by hand.

After this you should have an updated version with your changes.

Please use this email with care, mileage may vary, so make copies before
trying.

These are the steps I just took to get my working and development copies
up to date.

Regards, Joe
