Client Build Procedure

Note: All instructions assume your building on a Windows machine with TortoiseSVN installed.

Fork Tree

If this is a major or minor version change to an even numbered minor revision you'll need to fork the tree.

1. Right-click on the 'boinc' directory from trunk, and then select 'TortoiseSVN | Branch/Tag?'
2. Change the "To URL:" to http://boinc.berkeley.edu/svn/branches/boinc_core_release_<major>_<minor>, where <major> is the major version number and <minor> is the minor version number.
3. Adjust version numbers in both the new branch and truck so that the new branch and trunk reflect the current development efforts.

The branch should represent the new stable major and even minor version numbers. Trunk should represent the next major and odd minor version number.

The files that need to be modified are configure.ac and version.h.

Example: Branch 5.10.x and Trunk 5.11.0.

Commit all changes to SVN.

Tag Tree
