Taking a new clone is a perfectly valid route, I was providing the details of how to use push/pull with the new repositories and to change the default path for those who might want to keep using an existing copy (either so they need not set up the build environment again, or if they had changes they had not pushed).

To all, These changes were decided upon by the steering committee, since there is very little in the old version that is needed now. Michael may disagree, but personally I am just going to get a new clone of the brailleblaster repository.

These relate to me switching what is the default repository. * brailleblaster.newdesign has been copied to the default repository. * The original default repository has been copied to brailleblaster.old. So if you wish to use the old version of BrailleBlaster (not recommended) use the repository at http://code.google.com/p/brailleblaster.old If you want to use the newer version then use the repository at http://code.google.com/p/brailleblaster For those who have existing clones on their system you may push or pull by specifying the appropriate URL, eg. if pulling the new code then please use: hg pull http://code.google.com/p/brailleblaster Similar when pushing: hg push https://code.google.com/p/brailleblaster You need not create a new clone to not need to type these URLs, but you will need to edit a configuration file. Here is how to change your clone of brailleblaster.newdesign to commit to the default repository: * In your clone open the file: .hg/hgrc in a text editor (notepad will do). * The configuration file is in the .ini type format. Fine the paths section, it should be a line with just [paths] on it. * In the [paths] section you should find a line beginning with default = * Change the URL on the default line to reflect the default repository URL: default = https://code.google.com/p/brailleblaster NOTE: you can add your username in the URL so you need not give it: default = https://<username>@code.google.com/p/brailleblaster where <username> is your google username. I plan to remove the newdesign repository soon so that there cannot be accidental use of the wrong repository. Michael Whapples
