Notes/Subversion

Quick notes on use of the repository

FIXME: more info needed here.

Basic Usage

• use the svn tool

     unix% svn -N co https://svn.atnf.csiro.au/miriad4cabb -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

Protocol for access

Our access protocol is::

• We allow anonymous checkout over http, for people who just want a copy of the code.
  2008-01-18: this doesn't work for /miriad or /miriad4cabb, because we deny from all inside the LimitExcept?.
• 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.
