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

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

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
- prepare to take about 15 minutes and make sure you have extra disk space (gigs worth)
- run svn co svn+ssh://svn.mozilla.org/projects/mozilla.com in the directory of your choice
- watch the miracle
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
