BW 3.8 Applying Fixes and Updates to Bedework

Introduction

The Bedework project files are kept in several subversion repositories located at https://bedework.org/svn/<projectName>/... For example, the Bedework core trunk is stored at https://bedework.org/svn/bedework/trunk, the Bedework core 3.7 branch at https://bedework.org/svn/bedework/releases/bedework-3.7, and the Bedework CardDav project trunk at https://bedework.org/svn/carddav/trunk.

As long as you know the project name, you can figure out the rest, so here's a guide:

Project	Repository URL	Notes
bedework	https://bedework.org/svn/bedework	Many projects, not listed, are linked to Bedework. When you update Bedework, the linked projects are updated, too.
carddav	https://bedework.org/svn/carddav	Carddav server and Addressbook client
bwxml	https://bedework.org/svn/bwxml	XML definitions for Bedework
bwtzsvr	https://bedework.org/svn/bwtzsvr	Timezone Server
cachedfeeder	https://bedework.org/svn/cachedfeeder	Page Caching application and web form front-end
monitor

The quickstart ships with subversion information for some of the directories contained within the quickstart. This means, assuming you have subversion installed, you can use the svn update command to apply specific fixes or to bring the distribution up to date.

Use the bw command to update

The simplest way to update Bedework is to use the bw command:

cd <quickstart>
./bw -updateall

This command issues a series of svn update commands against those projects essential to Bedework.

Call svn update to update a file or directory

To update the bedework folder under the quickstart (which will also update all linked projects, like the caldav server):

cd <quickstart>
svn update bedework

To update only the public client's Bedework theme

cd <quickstart>
cd bedework/deployment/webpublic/webapp/resources/demoskins/MainCampus/themes/bedeworkTheme
svn update .

Remember to build and restart!

Updates to the source code won't take effect until you build and (in many cases) restart.
