New Install from SVN
is this still valid or have things changed, it’s something Dean wrote? I’m looking to do a new install from SVN and keep it upto date with the latest changeset.
Thanks, Lee.
To do a clean install:
cd to wherever you want the site to be
checkout the code
svn co http://svn.textpattern.com/current/
move the new code up and out of the download dir
mv current/* ./; mv current/.??* ./; rm -R current/;
Load the whereveritis.com/textpattern in a browser for further instructions
Now you have a Textpattern installation under version control. Whenever you want to update from the public repository, simply type:
svn update
in the same directory as the top-leve index.php and svn will integrate updates with your existing code. Whenever you do, type:
svn log
to see what changes/additions have been committed.

Re: New Install from SVN
No it is not valid, because things have changed.
And I would not recommend to use svn as an enduser for a live-site any longer:
http://textpattern.com/weblog/47/when-to-use-releases-and-not-subversion
If despite that advice you prefer to use svn (maybe for a test and play site), here’s some advice:
You should be willing to read and learn a bit about subversion.
The branch from which 4.0.x releases are made is now located at:
http://svn.textpattern.com/development/4.0/
Also it is probably safer to checkout to a private directory and then export into the other directory which is used by the webserver. That way you can svn update and resolve conflicts without affecting the actual site, and only export when you are sure things should work.

Re: New Install from SVN
Thanks for the info guys.
So if I repalce/current with /releases I’ll be checking out the latest stable version – correct?

Re: New Install from SVN
No, that’s not how it works. The repository is available via HTTP so you can just take a look at what you will find where:
http://svn.textpattern.com/releases/
If you want to check out the latest release right now, you would checkout : http://svn.textpattern.com/releases/4.0.1/source/ and when the next release becomes available you would svn switch your repo to http://svn.textpattern.com/releases/4.0.2/source/ and so on.
