This change won't actually work the way you want it to.
Currently, I manually move a copy of IndexRegen.sh into position to
actually run on my machine (as I don't particularly want anyone
with commit access to be able to run arbitrary shell scripts on my
machine (although it's probably a mute point as anyone with commit
access could modify any of the base/ code that gets executed just
as easily)).
I understand taking precautions ;-)
SVN_BASE_URL isn't actually used by the script for much more than
documentation, so changing it wont change where the checkout happens.
Yeah, the script does not bootstrap the checkout, but only updates
it (therefore, the checkout could happen from any URL, initially). In
any case, I only meant updating the variable for documentation
purposes too, to reflect what release we're indexing with. All this
is, arguably, largely unnecessary, so we shouldn't be too stringent
as long as it's always clear what release the script tracks
(therefore, update from the current release branch, from a tag...
doesn't make much difference as long as the intent is clear).
The script pulls from the latest release branch, and therefore
doesn't need intervention unless/until major releases (when I would
manually switch the repo to the later branch). Changing to a tag
would require manual intervention on my part for every release.
I understand wanting to minimize maintenance, so lets keep it
pointing to the branch then.
In fact, I would rather we went in the opposite direction, where
there was a 'current-release' branch that was used for the index
regen.
Not sure what you mean by this.... what we just coincided on
above...? Or are you referring to some alternate approach?
