Branching in the Codeplex SVN bridge does not always work, so for branching the hydrodesktop that has a lot of binaries, we need to do it in steps

  • Summary
  • create folder
  • svn copy folders from trunk
  • add externals
  • add build to teamcity
  • checkout instller Build folder
    • test installer build
  • Configure the TeamCity build

Steps

Branch in SVN

Note for some reason, just branching entire hydrodesktop/trunk does not work in codeplex.
 It is probably a memory issue since we have multiple large binaries in the tree.
 These steps are the workaround (as of Oct 21th, 2010
  • create a folder in hydrodesktop/branch/BRANCH_NAME
  • TortoiseSVN branch tag (svn copy the folders
    • binaries
    • source
    • build
    • Databases
    • Installer
    • UItests
    • file: subversion.externals.txt
    • Commit Source 1 at a time
      • create a source directory
      • add
      • commit
      • branch each folder in the trunk/source
        • Libraries
        • Main
        • Plugins
        • Tools
        • IGNORE TESTING
  • add a README (aka README_branch_v11_oct19)
    • add to svn
  • ADD EXTERNALS:
    • right click on hydrodesktop/trunk, select properties
