Re: [Speed-dreams-devel] How to create a recent tarballs from SVN 4549

Hi, Martin.

>How to create a recent tarballs from SVN 4549 

First of all, Martin, in any case ... 
please don't publish widely a random SVN revision of Speed Dreams ...
it might suffer bad bugs and we (the Speed Dreams Team)
definitely want to master what we publish :-)

But I'm pretty sure this is only for testing your packaging process :-)

Oh ... and rc1 is SVN r4420, so r4549 would certainly be rc2
(but hopefully we'll jump straight to final 2.0.0).
So, your unofficial source packages would better be named 2.0.0-rc2-r4549 :-)

Everything is explained in details here:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/speed-dreams/wiki/BuildSystem#Howtobuildreleasepackages

Basically, once you've checked out the trunk repository
(as explained right above : svn co ..., or through the "Download GNU tarball" link
 at the bottom of http://speed-dreams.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/speed-dreams/trunk/,
 but I'd guess that svn uses some kind of compression, while the tarball method will not),
simply run packaging/sources/build.sh, after looking at the heading comments
of this script (explain how to use the script).
And you should get what you want.

Any comment on this script / wiki page are welcome
(used only once for the recent RC1 source packages).

I suppose you mean 1 Mbit/s (or else you are a very lucky man ;-)

The resulting local copy of our trunk is about 4 Gb, once on your disk,
but I'd guess that you need to download about 2 Gb
