How to Update Product Details

  • make your edits locally and commit them to trunk (if you don't know how to do this, don't)
  • check the last rev for the lib at http://viewvc.svn.mozilla.org/vc/libs/product-details/
  • in your local checkout, cd mozilla.com/tags/production (or stage, depending on what you need)
  • svn propedit svn:externals .
  • then change the external revision to the correct revision
  • save the properties
  • then svn up

WTF is Product Details?

It's a library we use to centrally track product information for the mozilla.com website.

Troubleshooting

  • if you don't have SVN_EDITOR set on the command line
    • use vim or pico to open .bashrc
    • add "export SVN_EDITOR vim" (or emacs or whatever you want)
    • save the file (^X)
    • type "source .bashrc"
  • if you don't have this checked out on your system
  • if you get access denied
    • file an IT bug to get access and CC: morgamic and jslater
    • make sure your .ssh config has the following info (in ~/.ssh/config):
Host svn.mozilla.org
User your@fullldap.com
