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.
