NRCS Database Update Maker
==========================

* You'll need a Windows machine.  Sorry.

0) I would make an svn copy of the last update to use as a starting point.
svn copy https://svn.weru.ksu.edu/weru/spare_parts/nrcs_db_update_aug2012https://svn.weru.ksu.edu/weru/spare_parts/nrcs_db_update_NEWDATE


1) The db\ folder is an svn:external pegged to a specific repository revision. To change the version of the  database being use modify the svn:externals property on the current directory.  Then update.

svn propedit svn:externals .
svn update

2) The update.manifest specifies the files to include in the update relative to the db\ folder.  Modify the manifest to include the files required. 

NOTE: When the executable payload is built \NRCS\ sub directories are stripped out of the payload paths.

3) The update.bat file is included is run after the executable extracts itself.  Modify this batch file to
peform the require update steps.  In general you should only need to modify the title and :prepare section to delete the correct windgen and cligen gis files.

4) The update.config file is configures the 7zip executable.  You'll need to update the titles.  More information about the flags can be found online. http://7zsfx.info/en/

5) Create a  new update.exe by running create.cmd

create.cmd

6) Test, test, test!

7) Hand off to NRCS IT for deployment.  They'll wrap the executable in an msi for their software push.  They'll want to exeute with the -y switch to avoid the update.exe confirmation prompts.
