[Repast-developer] cvs branch

[Nick C. <nic...@ve...>]

Hi,

I'm going to branch the CVS tree tomorrow (thurs.) morning. The branch
will be repast-1_4. The idea here is that Mike North's changes to the
scheduler are now ready to go back into CVS for our consumption (thanks
Mike!). However, his changes are big enough that they won't be
introduced until 2.0, and we still have some work planned for 1.4.1 and
maybe beyond depending on when 2.0 is ready. The fork will allow us to
work on both simultaneously. At the moment, I think, Mike and I will be
the only ones working with 2.0. Tom and anybody else will be working
with 1.4. Of course, anyone can get 2.0 for their delectation but I know
Tom's current work is scheduled for release with 1.4.1 as is some code
I'm working on. 

So, once I've created the branch, y'all who are working on 1.4 will need
to update to this branch. To check out / update from a branch, you do:

cvs checkout -r repast-1-4 ...
cvs update -r repast-1-4 ...

More info on CVS branches can be found at:

Once your working copy is tied to the branch, any commit / updates can
be made as usual. Its probably a good idea to move your working copy to
a different source directory. So, if you have something like
~/src/repast/..., you could move the repast dir to ~/src/repast-1-4/,
and then do your cvs update -r repast-1-4 from there. 

As I said above, I'll be doing this tomorrow (thurs.) morning unless I
hear anything from y'all. Once I've done it, I'll send out an email and
y'all can do the update, and Mike can commit his new code to the main
branch.

Nick
