How to create a release of the SlimServer 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
-------------------------

First double check that $VERSION is correctly set in slimserver.pl

Thee, just 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
