htm) once more for the existance of a BOM and get rid of it if present. That's the reason why it's a good idea to scan the non-binary files (file extensions.
This happens without the developer being aware of it and shouldn't cause a lot of fuzz among the dev team, yet it can cause serious issues after the release, with the byte order mark shining through on some or all pages and especially with authentification issues, as the pre-mature start of the output (even if it's just the accidental output of the BOM) will interact with the browser's ability to receive the header and subsequently the cookie.
RAPIDSVN COULD NOT SET CURRENT WORKING DIRECTORY MANUAL
Those that are not marked as changed require manual editing - maybe the version number had been forgotten to be changed in the previous release or when the file was added to the subversion repository in the first place.ĭon't commit your changes yet though there are some more edits that need to be performed.Īs Coppermine is a community effort and there are many developers who have write access to the subversion repository it might happen that a Byte Order Mark (BOM) has crept into non-binary files. Both apps are available in English as well as in German and both don't require an installation (the executable runs out of the box, even from a USB stick or similar).Īfter having looped through all files, check in your subversion client if you actually have changed all non-binary files inside the package - all files should be marked as "changed" in your subversion client. On Windows-driven computers you will need an editor that is capable to replace in multiple files or a tool that is dedicated to the replacement of text in files like the freeware apps Replace in files by Emurasoft or the app MB-Search&Replace by Markus Bader. If you want to turn this into a shell script, don't forget the shebang at the start of the file (usually something like #!/bin/sh). The command that can be run in a console could look like this:įind /path/on/filesystem/level/to/your/working/copy/ -maxdepth 4 -name "*.php" -o -name "*.css" -o -name "*.js" -o -name "*.txt" -o -name "*.sql" -o -name "*.htm" | xargs sed -i 's/Coppermine version: 1.5.X/Coppermine version: 1.5.Y/g' Basically you loop through all files with a given extension, search for the string inside it and replace it. On most posix-compliant operating systems (like Unix, Linux, BSD etc.) you should have all needed tools at hand already. To accomplish this, you will need a tool that can batch-replace in files: htm) and replace the version number in the header with the version number of the new release. You need to loop through all text files (file extensions.
A dev team member with project admin status needs to have granted you write access to the subversion repository that is hosted at. For this purpose, you need to have write access to the subversion repository, which is something you can not make up.
In the first place you need to perform core actions on the subversion repository level of Coppermine. If you're not a member of the Coppermine dev team, then the contents of this page are not meant for you. There is absolutely no support for this section, it comes as-is. This part of the documentation is not meant for end users of Coppermine, but only for developers.
