1The jurisdiction directories here contain the data that will go
2onto the DVDs.
3
4For example, under the 'Hobart' subdirectory is the filesystem
5that will exist in the root directory of the created Hobart DVD.
6
7Other files/directories at the top level are used to build the
8four jurisdiction DVD directories:
9. BatemansBay
10. Gosford
11. GoldCoast
12. Hobart
13
14Use the 'update_DVD_images.py' program to refresh everything under
15the <jurisdiction> directory.
16
17If you edit anything in the jurisdiction directories (Hobart, etc),
18you WILL LOSE DATA, as everything in those directories comes from
19somewhere else.
20
21When you run 'update_DVD_images.py <jurisdiction>', the following happens:
221. The <jurisdiction> directory is deleted.
232. Selected files are copied from the jurisdiction working directory into
24   a new DVD jurisdiction directory.
253. All files/directories under the 'extra_files' directory are copied to the
26   new DVD jurisdiction directory, unless it's a directory and it has a
27   jurisdiction name.
284. Any directory under 'extra_files' that has a jurisdiction name is copied
29   to the root of the DVD jurisdiction directory *if* the jursidiction
30   name matches the name of the directory.  Note that this includes a jurisdiction
31   'project' directory containing modified versions of project.py, etc, that
32   must be changed on the DVD.
