I dont know if others do it like i do but because im a lazy bum my way might be a fast one.

First of all i pick one revision as base. I never update until im done adding and changing things on my server (to avoid problems).

After i finish everything on my server, i extract all my changes from the development server to my source be it (htmls, xmls, sql etc. etc.)

That way i have all my changes with the source. When i use the update from within eclipse all my custom changes are kept. Unless of course theres a confict wich i then fix manually (thats another topic right here).

After than everytime theres a new change i update my source i recompile, i make a new folder for the new version of the server and then i run a database upgrade on my old database.

Always make a backup before updating your server, ALWAYS. becayse you never know what might go wrong.

Thats pretty much all i do to update my server.

Maybe theres a better way? Please let me know.

I think git-svn and commiting your changes as git commits locally makes your life easier. I do that to maintain my server

U mean update svn from l2jserver & work with local repository?

[Battlecruiser]

yes, you commit your changes into your local repo and pull from the svn upstream changes
