We recently (on May 1) moved the data4.x repository to "data". This has instructions on how to update your repository without checking out everything again.

Please write on the Discussion page, or post on the forums if this process fails or is confusing in any way!

Updating your existing data4.x repository

The process is slightly different for each platform, because we now store binaries in a different place.

Windows Users

Here are the steps to modify your working directory on windows (using Tortoise SVN):

Do not use SVN Switch unless you need to--it may decide to delete your whole directory for no reason if you do this wrong... however if you use SVN Switch, make sure to be all the way up-to-date (At least revision 12226) before completing this process.

  1. Make an empty folder called "win32" (put this outside of data4.x). Right click on it and select "SVN Checkout..."
  2. Type the URL https://vegastrike.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vegastrike/trunk/win32
  3. Make sure "Omit Externals" box is checked! Otherwise it will helpfully download your whole data directory again.
  4. Leave the checkout folder as is.
  5. You should see it downloading binaries.
  6. Rename your data4.x folder to be called "data".
  7. Drag the "data" folder inside of win32.
  8. Now, run "SVN Update" on the 'win32' folder
  9. You should only see a few changes (as from a normal SVN download).
  10. If you get pages and pages of "Deleted" files, you might want to stop it before it's too late. Otherwise, contratulations: The update process is complete.

Mac OSX users

I'm assuming you followed a tutorial similar to [[1]] and that you already have "svn" or "/usr/local/bin/svn" installed.

For the Mac, this process is not as simple as the windows one. First, right/control click on your Vega Strike .app that you downloaded, click "Show package contents". Open Contents, and drag "Resources" to the desktop (this is the same folder you put there when you initially checked out your verison).

Now go into a console and run (you can copy and paste this):

svn checkout --ignore-externals https://vegastrike.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vegastrike/trunk/mac
mv ~/Desktop/Resources mac/VegaStrike.app/Contents/Resources
svn 

If all works according to plan, you should only have to download a few files ("Framework" directories) and binaries in "MacOS".

Linux and users building from source

Go inside of data4.x from a Terminal. Then run:

svn switch https://vegastrike.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vegastrike/trunk/data

If it gives you an error because you are not using https, the easiest way is to type "svn info" from inside of data4.x, copy the "URL" field, and paste thatwith the "4.x" removed.

Now, type "svn update". If you do not get an error, the update is complete.
