Accessing a Release

You can browse the latest source code online or anonymously checkout the project contained in the Subversion (SVN) repository.

To checkout the source code use the following command:

 svn co https://jmol.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/jmol/trunk/Jmol

This will check out to the Jmol subdirectory on your system.

You can update the source code from withing your Jmol sandbox by saying:

 svn update 


Release build

svn update
ant spotless dist
ant test
update version number in build.xml
update version number in org/jmol/viewer/JmolConstants.java
svn commit -m "prerelease 10.3.1"
svn copy https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/jmol/trunk \
   https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/jmol/tags/pre10.3.1 -m "prerelease 10.3.1"
ant spotless dist
cd build/dist
ls
lftp upload.sourceforge.net
cd incoming
mput jmol-10.3.1-binary.*

If you use another ftp client then login with anonymous/emailaddr and put ftp into 'bin' mode to ensure clean transfer of binary files.
