Hello,
I'm currently compiling KDE 3.3.0 ALPHA and everything is OK sofar :)
I'm not very familiar with cvs though and I was wondering what to do when new versions come out. I understand that within the branch that I checked out I can do updates with 'cvs up'; But what when the whole branch is relabeled to another version, say ...BETA? Is there a way to update, or does it mean a complete new checkout of this branch. I ask because I don't want to use to much bandwith if it can be avoided.
You use the command:
cvs up -r<tag>
Where tag is what you want to update to.
When this version is released, the tag will be: KDE_3_3_BRANCH, but until then you must use the tag for what you want to upgrade to.
You can check here:
http://webcvs.kde.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/kdelibs/
at the bottom of the page to see which tags are available. That is, when:
KDE_3_3_0_ALPHA_2
is available, it will be listed there and you can use it. If you wish to follow the development of the new release, you can use:
HEAD
But, this will not always compile and if it does, it will not always work.
