dw_dev | Updating VCV (Reply)

So, recently there's been a change to VCV to get it working with repositories we use that are in git, because the subversion emulation wasn't working so well anymore (I think). This means a bit of a different update process to get entirely current. First, if you're on Ubuntu and you don't have git installed:

sudo apt-get git-core

Also make sure that if you have a multicvs.conf in $LJHOME/cvs/local/cvs--remove it or merge any changes in. If you just copied the main over with the SVN(Data-ObjectDriver) line commented, they can just remove it or revert back to the main one (cp dw-free/cvs/multicvs.conf multicvs.conf). If you keep multicvs.conf overridden with one in local/cvs you'll miss out on further changes, so make sure that's something you need if you keep it.

Then:

cd $LJHOME/cvs
rm -rvf Data-ObjectDriver
cd vcv; hg pull -u; cp bin/vcv $LJHOME/bin
cvsreport.pl --checkout
