Installing leihs using Subversion: Always get the latest stable version

23. February 2010

leihs is developed using an agile process, so we have a stable release roughly every two weeks. But you might have noticed that there can be months between packaged SourceForge releases. Because we want you to benefit from any improvements as quickly as possible, we will now announce the stable revisions for you to check out via Subversion. That way, you can upgrade to any stable leihs version with all new improvements without having to wait for a packaged release.

The current stable revision is 1456. It is identical to the upcoming leihs 2.2.1 bugfix release.

If you’ve never checked out leihs via Subversion, you can get a fresh copy like this:

svn co -r 1456 http://code.zhdk.ch/svn/leihs/trunk leihs

If you already have a “leihs” directory with a Subversion checkout of leihs, you can update your version like this, inside your leihs directory:

svn update -r 1456

Make sure to have a backup copy of your configuration files (config/database.yml, config/environment.rb, config/LDAP.yml). Alternatively, you could just store those files outside your leihs directory and symlink them into it, so that svn update ignores them.
