Notes/Subversion

Quick notes on use of the repository

2008-03-07: we decided to go back to RCS.
It may be possible to maintain a copy of what's going on, in svn.
But for real work on the code, see Notes/RCSUsage.

Basic Usage

• use the svn tool

     unix% svn -N co https://svn.atnf.csiro.au/miriad/branches/cabb-upgrade -u WikiName
  

  • Notice we use the https URL scheme.
  • You can use the http URL scheme, but not if you want to make checkins.
  • You need to use your WikiName and password to log in, not your UNIX username and password
  • -N only gets the top level directory.

• use the ​eclipse tool

Migration from RCS

• Subversion and RCS

Protocol for access

Our access protocol is::

• We allow anonymous checkout over http, for people who just want a copy of the code.
  
• If you want to check stuff in, you must checkout and checkin over https. You will need a WikiName? and password for this.
• We plan to summarise commit logs by email, once a week or so, so people can get an idea of what is going on.
