[tei-council] Roma uses old TEI

[Martin Holmes]

Hi all,

I think I've figured out this problem. The key components seem to be these:

<http://sourceforge.net/p/tei/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/P5/Utilities/tei-install.sh>

<http://sourceforge.net/p/tei/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/P5/Utilities/tei-database-rebuild.sh>

These are used in steps 7 and 8 here:

<http://www.tei-c.org/Activities/Council/Working/tcw22.xml#releaseSteps>

In step 7 (tei-install.sh), the new TEI release is installed on the 
local tei-c server. As far as I can see (please correct me if I'm 
wrong), THE ONLY PLACE THE NEW CODEBASE IS INSTALLED IS IN THE VAULT.

Following that, the tei-database-rebuild.sh script is run. That is 
supposed to take the p5subset.xml file from the local machine and upload 
it into eXist. However, AFAICS (again, please confirm), THIS GETS ITS 
p5subset.xml FROM S=/usr/share/xml/tei/odd, WHICH HASN'T BEEN UPDATED.

I believe the following:

1. If you look in tei-c's /usr/share/xml/tei/odd, you'll find an old 
p5subset.xml from 2.3.0.

2. If you look in the Vault, you'll find a 2.6.0 p5subset.xml. In fact,
    I know that's true because I can see it:
     <http://www.tei-c.org/Vault/P5/2.6.0/xml/tei/odd/p5subset.xml>

3. If you run tei-database-rebuild.sh with the parameter:

     S=/projects/tei/web/Vault/P5/2.6.0/xml/tei/odd

   then it should install the correct p5subset.xml into eXist, and make
   Roma happy.

Could someone with login privileges on tei-c please check this?

Cheers,
Martin
