Next time, please do your homework before calling things what they are not. You need to understand that "building from SVN" is not synonymous for "building trunk". SVN is like a hard disk. It can have (and in this case has) many folders. One of them is called trunk [0], and this is where the latest development takes place. In the case 2009.4, the folder to build from is [1]. Each release cycle starts with copying trunk to a new folder, and as time passes by the difference between the two folders increases as trunk move forward on features and the release folder moves forward on clean/polish. The revision number only identifies the moment in the sequence of changes when a folder was used; not which folder was used. In the case of 2009.4/4742 vs. trunk/4742 you were lucky that the differences were not too radical. If you were to take the same shortcut now, the differences between 2010.0/HEAD and trunk/HEAD are major. You would only generate confusion. If you want to build release candidates of 2010.0 the right way, point your SVN client to [2]. There are additional things to consider. Read carefully the mailing list to keep up to date with what the developers are doing. Read the SVN logs. Know your way around. If you don't have time, don't cut short this important due diligence. Delegate it. Ask others. But don't skip it. In a controlled environment (e.g. corporate world) your mistake would be serious enough to put somebody under stricter supervision or even remove them from the job. Here I can only appeal to your sense of responsibility. Next time make sure you understand what you are doing and the consequences it has on the project, the community and last but not least on yourself (my understanding is that you are currently subject to US jurisdiction?).
