= Continuum polarimetry at Parkes =

Here, and in the associated ''subversion'' repository, resides software for processing polarimetry data taken at Parkes.  

== Some basics ==
 * Trac  - This wiki specialised to provide tools useful for managing or tracking a project.  The buttons along the top lead to useful functions.
    * '''Browse source'''  shows the file system we have set up in subversion.
    * '''Timeline''' shows what changes have been made recently, and by whom.
    * '''New ticket''' allows bugs or new tasks to be entered as a ticket, and '''View tickets''' gives various views of those tickets.
 * subversion (svn) is the version control system used.
    * A good reference is [http://svnbook.red-bean.com/]
    * [http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/ch09.html Quick guide to svn commands] (chapter 9 of red-bean).

== Using the repository ==
 1. We have set up the svn repository with the following structure:
{{{
trunk/
           Darwin/
                      bin/
                      Makefile
           Linux/
                      bin/
                      Makefile
           scripts/
           src/
           SunOS/
                      bin/
                      Makefile
           Makefile
}}}
   * All the FORTRAN source is in src/.
   * The main Makefile is in the top (trunk) directory.
   * The architecture directories (Darwin, Linux, SunOS) contain supplementary Makefiles that set architecture-specific symbols, and bin/ directories to receive the binaries.
 1. The URL for the repository is https://svn.atnf.csiro.au/parkespol  In a browser that address will bring you to this page. In svn that address will give access to the repository. 
 1. A typical cycle for changing the code is:
    * Make your own personal working version of the whole tree
{{{
 svn checkout   https://svn.atf.csiro.au/parkespol myWorking/
}}}
    * make changes, and test compilation and execution
    * Commit changes to the repository. Describe changes in the log required by the svn commit command.
{{{
  svn commit https://svn.atnf.csiro.au/parkespol
}}}
