| |
| − | Notea about getting JGuiGen installed on SourceForge.
| |
| − | I ran into two "issues" while moving a new project to SourceForge as a Subversion version control project.
| |
| − | 1. SourceForce wants a Subversion dump file to start with which menat I needed to place JGuiGen into
| |
| − | subversion locally. I created a repository using the Tortisesvn client. I imported the files into the
| |
| − | repository and checked them out again. Then it was time to create the dump. TortiseSvn doesn't create
| |
| − | dump files so I needed to use the command line. No problem. The instructions said use the svnadmin tool to
| |
| − | create the dump file. The issue came with figuring out what folder to be in when I ran svnadmin. I finally
| |
| − | found out that being in the main repository folder worked. That seems like a strange place to work from
| |
| − | but it worked.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 2. The instructions on uploading a new project said to use scp and copy the file to
| |
| − | scp FILENAME.ZIP
| |
| − | USERNAME@shell.sourceforge.net:/home/groups/P/PR/PROJECTNAME/FILENAME.ZIP
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I tried this and it didn't work
| |
| − | scp jguigen.zip Halepringle@shell.sourceforge.net:/home/groups/P/PR/jguigen.zip.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | What they don't mention in these instructions is that the "P/PR" are the first letter and first two letters
| |
| − | of our project name. This worked
| |
| − | scp jguigen.zip Halepringle@shell.sourceforge.net:/home/groups/J/JG/jguigen.zip.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 3. To update the SourceForge web site I used Winscp and logged into shell.sourceforge.net using my
| |
| − | sourceforge username and password. That placed me in /home/users/h/ha/halepringle. I navigated to /home/groups/j/jg/jguigen/htdocs and uploaded the web pages.
