How to create a release of the SqueezeCenter software

Note:  If you just want to run the server from the command line, you don't need
to make a release.  Just "cd server" and "perl -w slimserver.pl" and you are off!

-------------------------
Windows, MacOS X and UNIX
-------------------------

To update the $VERSION strings - run:

./update-version "oldVersion" "newVersion"

Then commit your changes.

Example (the oldVersion must be escaped):

	./update-version "6\.2\.1" "6.2.2"

-------------------------

Then run makerelease.pl:

makerelease.pl [--checkout] [--update] [--snapshot] [--version VERSION] [--branch BRANCH]

	--update will update the subversion tree and use your Subversion copy.

	--checkout will check out a fresh copy from Subversion.  Use this when making releases or snapshots to make sure
	there's no garbage left over.

	--snapshot will build a dated snapshot tar'ed and gzip'ed file

	--version will mark it with a version number.  If you leave this out, 
	you will be prompted for a version

	--branch will use the specified branch if you are using --checkout.  Defaults to HEAD

Releases must be tagged in Subversion! To do so, type (for example):

   svn copy https://svn.slimdevices.com/repos/slim/trunk https://svn.slimdevices.com/repos/slim/tags/RELEASE_2_1
