Making changes
The project website http://openguides.org/ is maintained in subversion.
- https://urchin.earth.li/svn/openguides/website/preview/ is http://www-preview.openguides.org/
- https://urchin.earth.li/svn/openguides/website/publish/ is http://openguides.org/
The former should only be used for testing and not pointed at as a public resource
(it has a robots.txt to deter this).
Changes should always be made in preview and then merged (using svn merge) to publish.
(but don't merge the robots.txt across!)
Merging in more detail
Subversion 1.5 should make this easier but assuming you don't have that yet, here is (probably not that elegant, I'm sure there are better ways) how to merge some changes from preview to publish:
svn up preview svn log preview|less
Note down the revision before you started, and the revision of your most recent change - ie the two revisions that would give you a diff of your changes if you asked
svn merge preview@[first revision number] preview@[second revision number] publish`
Publishing
At the moment, changes in both branches are not automatically reflected in the web server.
To actually push out the changes from subversion, someone in the ogweb group on urchin needs
to run the command
$ svnup ogweb-preview $ svnup ogweb-publish
as appropriate. This is currently dom,kake,nick.
I hope to replace this procdure with post-commit hooks in the future.
