The operator is not expected to run svn up on their own, but it's not bad either. Generally the client looks at a certain "version" value it gets from the server, and auto-updates if the server claims that there is a newer version out. (This does *not* refer to svn revision nor Client name, currently "Ulm") So basically either way is fine, however the bootstrap script might be easier, unless you want to install most of the ".svn" config directories also, which, depending on your version of subversion might be slightly different from what the user's subversion expects. -- Dirk-Lüder "Deelkar" Kreie Bremen - 53.0952°N 8.8652°E
