WP7325.

The time has come to upgrade our working directories under /opt/rtcds/userapps/trunk from SVN version 1.6 to 1.8. Increasingly svn clients and python-svn bindings on Debian only support 1.8, so the time has come to make the upgrade.

Remember that under /opt/rtcds/userapps/trunk each subsystem is a separate working directory, so I am upgrading each one at a time. I have completed als, asc and cal (skipping asc since Daniel is working on that system).

During the upgrade I am committing local modifications into the repository, adding files which should have been under svn, and documenting the files which remain outside of SVN. I'm taking special care with common files to ensure we don't break LLO. The old version of the directory is being renamed with an _1.6 suffix (e.g. cal_1.6), and the new system is checked out cleanly from the repository.

My progress can be monitored on the WIKI page https://cdswiki.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/wiki/UpgradeUserappsSVNVersion

Please email or call my cell phone if the upgrade causes any problems.
