[CUWiN-Dev] 0.5.8 branched

[David Young]

I just branched 0.5.8.  I made a snapshot of my NetBSD sources, too.
I'm hoping we can get this version onto all of our Metrix nodes on
Saturday, test overnight Saturday and on Sunday, fix any show-stopping
bugs that show during the weekend on Monday and Tuesday, and then cut
release files Wednesday.

This may be a CompactFlash-only release.  I don't see us testing and
debugging the CD-ROMs before Wednesday.  I don't know of anyone who
needs 0.5.8 on a CD-ROM urgently enough that we should postpone the
release for it.  Please speak up if you are dependent on the CD-ROM.

Just in case somebody else needs to branch a release, I've put
the process into an untested script, below.

#!/bin/sh

version=0.5.8

#
# Create a directory for the branch points to go into.
#
svn mkdir file:///var/svn/cuw/tags/branch-points/$version

#
# Mark the branch points.
#
svn cp file:///var/svn/cuw/trunk/src \
    file:///var/svn/cuw/tags/branch-points/$version/src
svn cp file:///var/svn/cuw/trunk/extern-src \
    file:///var/svn/cuw/tags/branch-points/$version/extern-src

#
# Make a release branch from the branch points.
#
svn cp file:///var/svn/cuw/tags/branch-points/$version \
    file:///var/svn/cuw/branches/releases/.

# End
