How to process the membership database
Processing the database requires UNIX scripts, which I (BrettWuth) keep on my laptop. I also have the scripts on PatNeumann's server. I need to remember to keep them up to date there.
Unless you understand UNIX, you're not likely to understand much of this. If you need to get someone else to do this, you'll need to find someone with UNIX or Linux shell skills.
The scripts check for changes in the database, so they keep a running record of the last changes they've seen. This running record is currently on BrettWuth's laptop.
The Membership Coordinator e-mails me the database as personnel-database.xml. BrettWuth is currently doing the data entry on behalf of the vacant Membership Coordinator position.
Merging Edits to Personnel Records
I may have made changes to my copy of the database at the same time as Bob has. The changes need to be merged.
use:
rlog personnel-database.xml | head -20
to find out what version I gave to Bob most recently (usually latest).
check in my changes:
rcsdiff personnel-database.xml
ci -l personnel-database.xml
for 1.18 use whatever version Bob based his changes on:
c ~/tmp/personnel-database.xml .
rcsdiff -r1.18 personnel-database.xml
to see his changes
make my edits to his changes.
wuth@vaio$ rcsmerge -r1.18 personnel-database.xml
- resolve any conflicts:
rcsdiff personnel-database.xml
to verify only his changes have been propogated
- Validate Edits to Personnel Records
$ validate
(uses less) or
validation-report
Check my marked up copy of the call out list to see any changes that may be necessary.
- Prepare the TaggedPercent version:
