Applying old patch to 7.3 code

[lemmy999]

Great! Thanks for your help. I have been using the activestate Perl and launching Squeezecenter as a Windows service for more than a year now and it works great. I am excited that I will be able to run 7.3 now and still be able to apply the patch.

I am sure this is a stupid problem as I am new to TortoiseSVN. But when I create a directory on my computer, right click in exploer and select SVN checkout and put the link http://svn.slimdevices.com/7.3/trunk/server/ in for "URL of repository" I get:

Error: Repository moved permanently to '/7.3/trunk/server/'; please relocate

I don't understand because /7.3/trunk/server is where I am looking. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Ok, I found it here

http://svn.slimdevices.com/repos/slim/7.3/trunk/

Once I check out a revision(for example 24192), how do I check which revision I have? I know that I can do a "check for modifications" and "update to revision" to change to a specific revision and the log will show what changes are made to each revision, but I cna't find anything that tells me what revision I currently have. Thanks.

Which SVN client are you using? With Tortoise SVN installed on Windows, you can use Windows Explorer. Right click the root folder, select 'Properties' and you should see a tab labeled 'Subversion'. The revision number can be found there.

I am using Tortoise. When I select the directory where I checked out a revision of 7.3,and right click and TortoiseSVN->Properties a window pops up. The only property listed is "svk:merge" and the value is a very long value that starts with 60ad55cd-86ed-0310--8cf8-f9d879be5eal:/7.0/trunk:23148 60add etc etc

could it be caused by me not having the correct config file when I checked out the revision?

Ok, I was doing "TortoiseSVN - > Properties" instead of just "properties". Thanks for your help.

No, select Properties in the context menu of Windows Explorer. It should be the selection at or near the bottom. Tortoise SVN adds a tab to Explorer itself.

Like I said earlier, I have checked out the latest 7.3 build, but for some reason I can't get slimserver.pl to run. I export the \server directory from the checked out code to \SlimServer\. Then I type "perl slimserver.pl" and I get this error:

[08-12-05 23:01:27.8125] DBIx::Migration::migrate (115) Warning: Database error: Duplicate column name 'extid' at C:\Program Files\SlimServer\server\CPAN/DBIx/Migration.pm line 115.
[08-12-05 23:01:27.8130] Slim::Schema::forceCommit (1481) Warning: Trying to commit transactions before DB is initialized!


I can understand why they took the .pl files out of the \server\slim\ directory for the .exe windows installation, but why have they been removed from the windows .zip file?

Sounds like the MySQL database server isn't being started for some reason.

What was that about exporting the SVN copy to another folder? I've always just created empty folders under C:\Program Files, e.g. C:\Program Files\SqueezeCenter\ and then run the server from there.

Are you trying to get SqueezeCenter 7.x to run with your old SlimServer 6.x configuration? I'm not sure how well that will work. I know there's migration code included somewhere, but if any of it is in the Windows installer then you might be out of luck. You're probably better off starting from scratch.
