I've just finished reading the svn book (through chapter 4 anyway). Based on this I'd suggest the following for the release flow: 1) Create (using copy) a new (local) sub-directory in the tags directory that is a snapshot of PLplot for the release. 2) Run make_tarball.sh in this directory, where make_tarball.sh is suitably modified so that it just makes the tarball from the local repository. 3) Assuming that the tarball checks out ok, the RM commits the local tags/new_release directory to the Sourceforge repository & uploads the tarball, etc. as before. 4) If the tarball doesn't work out for some reason, the RM merges in the necessary changes from trunk to get it to work. -Hazen ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
