Create Release

For Stable Releases, Release Candidates and development releases.

[edit]

Create a tag for the current release number

Normal Releases - The z part will most likely be 0 in most cases (that is the number for later bugfix releases and stuff like that). 

svn copy https://ufoai.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ufoai/ufoai/branches/ufoai_x.y \
         https://ufoai.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ufoai/ufoai/tags/ufoai_x.y.z \
         -m "* UFO:Alien Invasion - Version x.y.z"

Release Candidates - If we really do a Release Candidate again that is, development release4s (see below) seem to be the better choice. :) 

svn copy https://ufoai.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ufoai/ufoai/branches/ufoai_x.y \
         https://ufoai.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ufoai/ufoai/tags/ufoai_x.y-rcz \
         -m "* UFO:Alien Invasion - Version x.y-RCz"

Attention: No changes must be made in the "tags" copy.

[edit]

Create a branch for the major version 

svn copy https://ufoai.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ufoai/ufoai/trunk \
         https://ufoai.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ufoai/ufoai/branches/ufoai_x.y \
         -m "* UFO:Alien Invasion - Version x"
[edit]

Create a tag for the development releases 

svn copy https://ufoai.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ufoai/ufoai/trunk \
         https://ufoai.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ufoai/ufoai/tags/ufoai_x.y-devz \
         -m "* UFO:Alien Invasion - Version x.y-devz"

Attention: No changes must be made in the "tags" copy.

[edit]

switch your working copy

If you are working with the trunk anyway, you can switch to ta specific branch (or tag) by running ... 

svn switch https://ufoai.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ufoai/ufoai/branches/ufoai_x.y

... inside the trunk-directory (read more about this here). You can check what branch/tag you are using by running 

svn info | grep URL

NOTE: Do not commit new features to a branch (and changes at all to tags).

Example 

$ cd trunk
$ svn info | grep URL
URL: https://ufoai.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ufoai/ufoai/trunk
# any changes you commit now will go into trunk

$ svn switch https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ufoai/ufoai/branches/ufoai_2.0
[... SNIP update messages ]
$ svn info | grep URL
URL: https://ufoai.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ufoai/ufoai/branches/ufoai_2.0
# any changes you commit now will go into branches/ufoai_2.0
