Piston 1.2.0: status, better update
2006-11-17
Piston 1.2.0 is here. From the ChangeLog:
- New status subcommand. Shows M if locally or remotely modified. Applies to one, many, all folders. This subcommand requires the use of a Subversion 1.2.0 client. Thanks to Chris Wanstrath for the inspiration. His Rake
tasks are available at http://errtheblog.com/post/38. - Minor patch by Miguel Ibero Carreras to make Subversion always use the C locale, instead of the current one. This allows Piston to be used with internationalized versions of Subversion. David Bittencourt later reported the same problem. Thanks!
- Better handle how update finds it’s latest local revision to prevent conflicts. If you had never locally changed your vendor repositories, this fix will change nothing for you. This helps prevent local conflicts if you had ever applied a local patch.
Installation
1 $ gem install piston 2 Successfully installed piston, version 1.2.0
There is no need to install Piston on your server. A local installation on your development machine is all that you need to administer the remote code.
Caveat
It is imperative that you locally update your piston:local-revision property manually, just this once. Prior to 1.2.0, Piston would almost never update the piston:local-revision property, meaning it would always think there were local changes. With the new update implementation, Piston would try to merge changes that had already occured, causing many conflicts. You need to reset the value of piston:local-revision to the revision where you last did a piston update or import.
An example is in order.
