Export the current revision, then compare the two folders, if you don't know how to do this DO NOT USE THE SVN REPOSITORY ITS ONLY FOR ADVANCED USERS!

well thank you very much jackass.. how do you learn if you dont ask questions????????

i just asked a question . so i guess you were born c# smart .. i doubt it ..

thanks anyway figured i would ask for some input but i guess that isnt allowed here so peace to you all

winmerge is farely simple to use

make copies of BOTh script directories 1st
then in the svn directory - remove all the "svn"s from in there - will make life simplier

then work on the copies
now the hard part - in the copy of your customs folders - you have to move back intpo the normal place any distros you have modified and moved to the custom folder - it is not needed to do - but makes life easier

put in the svn copy as the 1st directory
then put in the copy of your rc1 directory in the 2nd spot
below that check the subdirictories included box
then click on compare/ok

then the list comes up
1st thing is to go into the "view" and check hide those that are the same
this makes the list much shorter
then for now - alsi in the view - hide "uniques" to both sides
again the list grows shorter

now you have a list of the files that are same name but are different in some way
just dbl click the 1st one and compare them - copy over your changes, modify them, etc as if just 2 files on in win merge
if you need help at this part - go to the winmerge web site and read how to operate it more
but basicaly it is showing you the differences in the 2 scripts and allows you to copy stuff over, edit by hand, etc

once you get all of those done (will take a lone time - that is why you are working on copies and not origional - i mean could be days)
then "hide" the ones that are "different" and show the uniques
now here is where you minght find a distro that you missed moving -make a list of those to move and where to (do not move for now)
also make a list of others to copy over of your custom ones
now close winmerge
now move the ones that were in the wrong place
then copy over your other custom ones that were not in the "svn"

restart winmerge, repeat as above fixing the others you moved over

recheck for uniques, just in case, etc

once done - MAKE A BACKUP of your runuo rc1 directory, scripots the whole thing

now replace it with the sven copied ones

try to compile, fix errors

hope that helps, biut it is a process that will take days to comple based on how many custome scripts and distro files you have modified
