Fetching updates on Dreamhack?

[ninetydegrees]

How does one update their repos on their hack now? The 'old' script no longer pulls anything for me (what used to be on http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/wiki/index.php/Dev_Maintenance) and I don't understand how I can keep up with changes. :/

(Context: I'm on Windows; I use PuTTY and WinSCP).

Edit: ok, if anybody else wonders, short answer is you can no longer update your hack using old methods. :/

Edit 2: long answer is you can switch to the new system. See comments for detailed instructions. :)

Ahhh yes, both $LJHOME and $LJHOME/ext are used as-is, as compared to before when the contens of $LJHOME/cvs/* had to be synced over to $LJHOME first.

So the two are the same thing; the differences only relevant if you're comparing against the old way of doing things. Hmm, I'm not quite sure how to explain.

Maybe take out those two points and instead say:

* all code from dw-free ($LJHOME) and the additional repos under $LJHOME/ext are live. There's no need to run any additional syncing steps

Oh got it! If you add 'automatically' before live and maybe 'when you start your server' after, this last sentence is perfect. ;)

I have taken Fu's suggestion and your tweaks and put them in place on the wiki page!
