Bases folder in GeneWeb 7
This section of the documentation is not yet fully implemented. The current version of GeneWeb v7 adheres to the old folder structure.
|
GeneWeb 7 simplifies the archival of databases regrouping all the files needed for a single database under the same folder. With this configuration, it becomes far simpler to use archival tools such as tar
, zip
or rar
to store a single database folder in an archive (see save for details and comments).

folder and possibly new copies of gwd/gwsetup launch scripts, CHANGES.txt, README, etc (the last two lines of the tree above).
