svn 1.2 book available... but still in progress
Just a minor announcement:
The free svnbook has been "mostly" updated to cover Subversion 1.2
features.
In particular, it now explains locking here, in much more detail than
the 1.2 release notes:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.advanced.locking.html
The autoversioning appendix has also been rewritten to better explain
DAV client usability issues:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.webdav.html
PLEASE NOTE: The 1.2 book is a work in progress. Many things have
been documented, but there are still several things left in our queue
that we're working on. The links above contain the word 'nightly',
meaning that they're nightly builds of the book. It's probably not a
good idea to bookmark them until we finish and tag the 1.2 book.
Book feedback/discussion is always welcome on svnbook-dev@red-bean.com.

Re: svn 1.2 book available!
Posted by Joey Mukherjee <jo...@swri.edu>.
Ok, based on the advice below, I was able to build the book with little
to no trouble. The java I had installed (kaffe) didn't work so I used
the jdk1.3. The only thing I would recommend is a command to actually
fetch the book written on the website or in the README file. I
eventually realized I had to do a svn co
https://svn.red-bean.com/svnbook .
If anyone else is interested in a PDF version of the SVN v1.2 book
based on revision 1491, you can get it from:
http://cluster.space.swri.edu/~joey/svn-book.pdf.gz
Enjoy!

Alas, not at this time. red-bean has no problems using libxslt to
automatically produce HTML versions of the book's /trunk each night,
but java isn't so happy on that box, which means no FOP, which means
no PDF.

Checkout a copy of the svnbook tree, and read the README. Anyone can
build the book, if you have the right tools installed.
> Or does the PDF version have a tentative release date?
There's nothing special about the PDF version. It's just not being
built nightly. You're free to grab the already-uploaded svn 1.1
PDF. Or, checkout /trunk and build the latest 1.2 PDF yourself.

How does the PDF of the book come about? Is it possible to add a PDF
to the nightly? Alternatively, is there an easy way for me to create
the PDF and print it out? Or does the PDF version have a tentative
release date?
I love to kill trees! :-) Just kidding, but I'd like to be able to
read the book from cover to cover before I start getting my group to
use it.
Thanks,
Joey

Probably not... just a 99% finished 1.1 book. :-)

Um... at the time 1.2.0 was released, did we even *have* an unfinished
1.2.0 version? (I honestly can't recall.)

Ah, that may be a good idea, yes. Putting the 1.1 book into 1.2.0
tarball was a mistake, I think. We already have a precedent for
putting "unfinished" versions of the book into release tarballs. We
did it all the time when we were pre-1.0.

Nevertheless, wouldn't it be better to deliver a "nightly" 1.2 version
of the documentation in the subversion installer, than a 1.1 version
that does not even mention the new features? I am thinking about the
upcoming svn 1.2.1 release. Or are you already planning to do just
that?
