How to update OprDoc

  1. It is recommended that you update the OprDoc package in your public_html area in order to see the changes you are making using your preferred browser before changing the official version of the manual.
    If you don't already have a public_html area, do this:
    cd
    mkdir public_html
    Everything you put in this directory is accessible to anyone via the web at this site:
    http://www.slac.stanford.edu/~your_user_name
  2. cd ~/public_html
  3. Checkout the package from the HEAD: cvs co OprDoc
    If you already have the package cvs update -dA will update your copy to whatever it is in the HEAD
  4. Edit/Add files
  5. cvs -n update -dA [check what files have been changed]
  6. For updated files, update to the head:
    cvs update -A filename
  7. Add new files created by you:
    cvs add newfilename
  8. Commit the changes: cvs commit -m "message"
  9. Tag a new version of the manual (You can skip this if you're fine with just updating to the HEAD:
    cvs tag V00-xx-xx
  10. Update the version in the official area:
    cd $BFROOT/www/Computing/Online/PromptReco/
    cvs update -rHEAD OprDoc or cvs update -rV00-xx-xx OprDoc
