From tags to production?

[Jay Smith <ja...@gmail.com>]

Hi,


I created a repo and the trunk, branch, and tags directories.
I imported my site in to the trunk directory.
I created a work directory for myself and made it a working copy
I modified index.html and committed it to the trunk
I created a tag by copying the trunk to the tags dir (named r1.0)

This is where I'm stuck... how do I get tag r1.0 to the root of the site?

 I was able to get the content to the root of the site using export... but
that wouldn't work so well in production.

At first I tired using svn update, but that seems to require the root of the
site be a working directory....
I don't want to make the root a working dir, because I don't want the tags,
trunk and branch directories in there... is there another way?

Thanks,
Jay

Got it, thanks!

I was stuck on how to get co to update an already existing directory, but
after reading some posts, I just moved the web site root and have snv create
a new one (is this the right way to do it?).

I co'ed tags/r1.0 to /usr/local/www... and then switched between a couple of
versions, works nicely :)

A working copy can be pulled from *anywhere* on your repository. It
doesn't need to be (and rarely should it ever be) pointed at the root
of your repository.

So, check out from the tag URL to your production server. When you
have a new version, svn switch the server to the next tag's URL, and
so on.
