We support cdfpatch  releases  for running on the farms,
       and cdfsoftb0 releases for online consumers

Prepare a patches file and commit it to Releases/patches/

In examples below, we will work with patch b to release 4.0.0,
as defined in file 4.0.0b.patches

For cdfpatch,

    Log into the cdfsoft account on fcdfsgi2 or fcdflnx1
    $ cd dist/cdfpatch
    $ ./relpatch 4.0.0 b cdfpatch

For cdfsoftb0 ,

    Log into the cdfsoft account on fcdfsgi2, fcdflnx1 or b0dap30
    $ cd dist/cdfsoftb0
    $ ./relpatch 4.0.0 b cdfsoftb0

A log file named 4.0.0b.log will be automatically created.

The binaries for these two styles are built by Release/patches scripts
cdfpatch.bin and cdfsoft0.bin respectively.

                        T E S T I N G

The patches file should be checked before committing it to CVS
using any private directory as follows :

    $ $PROJECT_DIR/relpatch 4.0.0 b cdfpatch  "" local
or
    $ $PROJECT_DIR/relpatch 4.0.0 b cdfsoftb0 "" local
    
This will skip the ups declaration, and use your local patches file.
