Fetching updates on Dreamhack?

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. :)

Yeah, we did but I like having it explained anyway.

Other question: when I update my DB it asks me if I want to delete all the S2 layers. Normal too?

I think it might be normal if you had styles patches you were working on in the old thing, which I suspect is the case, and now with this new thing those files don't exist anymore, which prompts the update process to be all oh maybe I should delete these and really, never answer yes because I have found out it's far easier to have styles cruft around than to fix it if you had a user using one of those styles that ended up deleted, ha.

I was only working on one style and this is asking me about many, many layers which are for different styles and look like they exist. I'm tempted to say yes actually because it's going to ask me every time. (and yeah I know it sucks when a layer is delete because you have to go create a new style but...).

That's kind of strange then. I haven't had that happen and I'm a bit confused as to why it is popping up for you. And the files exist for those styles?

oh. took a closer look and it looks like these are all nonfree themes so might it be because they changed location with the new folder structure and it can't find them anymore?

I see it's been fixed! Yay! So I'm all up-to-date now and dwdb no longer gives me any error. I also see you made a new page and I'll go through it today hopefully (doesn't matter really) and bother you with any question I have in a new thread. *bg*
