Forum Topic - Switching from pkgsrc-2007Q2 to HEAD: (2 Items)
   
Switching from pkgsrc-2007Q2 to HEAD  
Is there any trick to switching which branch I use?  

This is more a subversion question perhaps, but I have bootstrapped my system here with the pkgsrc-2007Q2 branch and now
 want to switch to the HEAD branch.  Can I just checkout the HEAD branch and go work in it, or do I have to bootstrap it
 again?

In a more general sense, this is probably not that different that changing branches in any project.  

Anyway, any caveats I should watch out for?

Rick..

You probably don't have to bootstrap it again.
Functionally, the HEAD and pkgsrc-2007Q2 should be the same
(although how they get there is slightly different).  If
you're building packages you can 'bmake update' / 'bmake
replace' to the HEAD versions.
