1. Open the SVN page



2. Find your project under "Current SVN Projects"

3. Select "Make Zip" from the dropdown on the right


4. Enter in a release number. This is the same as the "File Version" in Upload & Update


* If this is a new repo not associated with a released addon, you will be prompted to select an existing addon or create a new one.


5. Select a release type. "Beta" indicates that your addon may not be stable, use at your own risk. "Stable" indicates that the addon is tested and safe for the mass public to use


6. Enter a description and changelog. These fields are the same as those in Upload & Update



7. Click "Generate Zip"


8. Review the file to ensure it is correct and complete


9. Click "Push Zip Live"


This will package everything in your /trunk and push it out as a release. If you want to put your files directly in /trunk (/trunk/AddonName.toc instead of /trunk/AddonName/AddonName.toc), you can set the "wowi:dirname" svn property on the trunk directory. This will force the packager to put all the files in /trunk into a folder with the name you specified.

1. svn propset wowi:dirname "AddonName" trunk/
2. svn commit

1. Open the SVN page

5. Click "Update Options"


An email with details about the commit and diff output will be sent whenever a commit is made.


You should probably use a mailing list like Google Groups to send your commit emails to. This allows any user who wishes to watch your project to subscribe easily.

Commit emails will come from [email protected]

1. Open the SVN page



2. Find your project under "Current SVN Projects"


3. Select "Miscellaneous" from the dropdown on the right


4. Check "Disable public SVN viewing."


5. Click "Update Options"


Activating this option will make your repo private, only project members will be able to view and checkout.

The string "wowi:revision" in ANY .toc file in the repository's trunk will be replaced with the current revision number of the entire repo when the files are zipped.


This is similar to the svn:keyword "$", except that the repo's current revision is used. The svn:keyword uses the last revision the file was modified (so to keep it up to date you would have to "touch" the file with every commit). Also note that, unlike the svn:keyword, the string will NOT be replaced for users that checkout your addon directly from your SVN. If for example you test the addon's current version during runtime, you should account for users with svn checkout copies.
