If you are a bit weak on the workings or CVS, like I am, then the 
following will hopefully help you check out the new B_Release branch of 
the manual module.


#
# get into my normal working area.
#
cd  SourceCode/cvs/firebird/

#
# Create a new directory for the branch.
#
mkdir b_release
cd b_release

#
# Checkout the new branch into the current directory.
# (All on one line!)
# Replace "my_username" with your Source Forge username.
# Note: Spelling of B_Release is critical!
#
cvs -z6 
-d:ext:my_usern...@firebird.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/firebird 
checkout -r B_Release manual

#
# Did it work?
#
ls


At this point you should find that you have a new directory called 
manual in your current directory. That is the B_Release branch.

The B_Release branch is only for manuals that are complete and build 
correctly. DO NOT commit any half edited or unbuildable manuals into 
this branch please. (Lest Paul descend upon you with wrath!)

So, when you are working on manuals the easiest process to follow is:

* Edit everything in the "working" location - 
/SourceCode/cvs/firebird/manual/src/docs/firebirddocs in my case. Feel 
free to commit partial changes etc to this location.

* Build the completed docs, and check them for correctness, pdf 
overflows, spelling etc.

* When satisfied, commit them into cvs in the usual manner.

So far, nothing spectacular. However, once the manual(s) are complete 
and build correctly, they are ready for release. They must be copied 
into the B_Release branch.

* Copy any updated manuals' XML files into the b_release location - 
/SourceCode/cvs/firebird/b_release/manual/src/docs/firebirddocs/ in my case.

* Commit these documents back to cvs in the usual manner.

Norm.
