[be] Re: nightly builds

[Teus Benschop]

Hi Phil,

Yes, these are still being shared. Please find below a copy of the documentation describing the new procedure.

Regards,

Teus.

Recent code

The code is stored in a git repository. The repository is accessible from the Savannah Project Page. To view the code on the web, click on "Source Code" - and then "Browse Sources Repository" just below "Use Git". To use the repository in another way, click on "Source Code" - "Use Git". It will give some information there.

Recent code can be checked out from the repository. This code gives the latest versions of Bibledit. Every night this code is updated, hence it contains the nightly builds. This code has not been thoroughly tested, but is supported, and give you a great way to follow the newest and latest developments in Bibledit.

In order to get the most recent code, do the following in a terminal.

git clone git://git.savannah.nongnu.org/bibledit

The above command clones the code repository to your local disk. It will create a directory called "bibledit". Go into that directory, and do the normal "./configure", "make", "sudo make install" sequence, as is described for installing bibledit.

Note 1. To save bandwidth, it is recommended to leave the directory "bibledit", created above, as it is. If that directory is left there, then next time there is no need to clone the whole repository. Just pulling the changes is enough:

cd bibledit
git reset --hard
git pull
./configure
make
sudo make install

Formerly if anybody wished to run what was then called nightly builds needed to download the full build each time. The current method saves a lot of bandwidth, because it downloads the changes only, and these changes are usually small.

Note 2. For best results close Bibledit while installing the new version.

Teus,

Are you not sharing the nightly builds anymore?
Or are the builds just going to the Savanah Project page and not being labeled?
(I just downloaded 3.2 with today's date.)

Thanks,
Phil
