As more people participates on different Puppy projects it becomes important to coordinate the work and make it available to other people for testing.

To this effect, I have created a subversion repository to keep track of the community projects.

Think of a subversion repository as a kind of wiki for project files: Authorized users can make modifications but the system keeps track of all the changes done.

I have setup read access to anonymous users. This is, anyone can read the contents of the repository.

To request having a project added to the repository or to request write rights to an existing project contact the subversion administrators.

If you have questions about using subversion, post them to this forum.

The full FAQ is in the wiki. I will keep adding info as I go along:
===========================
If you just want to browse the repository, you use the browser interface by going to http://svn2.cvsdude.com/wsvn/puppylinux and selecting the project you want to browse. The address required to use the client is different. (Keep reading)
If you want to bring work with the files in your computer (check out):
1. Install the subversion client. It is available as a PupGet in Puppy2. For previous versions download it from the puppy download site and install it as an alien package
2. Execute the following command: svn co http://svn2.cvsdude.com/puppylinux/puppy-localization
You must have the subversion client installed in your system. The subversion client can be installed as a pupget

esvn is a nice, fast, lightweight, graphical interface for Subversion. Needs only the QT libraries. It will help to have a GUI three-way compare program, though, like kdiff3, which I got to compile last night in Puppy (dotpup anyone?)

SmartSVN is nicer and more featureful. It requires Java, though, which is big. It has a very nice diff utility. Unfortunately, I can't get it to check out any projects from cvsdude, though it works to view projects checked out with svn or esvn.

this seems the best link for on line usage
http://svn2.cvsdude.com/wsvn/puppylinux/

what password do I require for esvn writes?
ed.jason @ gmail.com

Have you sent Barry and Mu passwords?

Who have you issued passwords with? I think this is about the third time I have asked.

Esvn can not retain a URL so basically seems best for offline usage and personal updates.

I want to update and edit from the web - how is this done? Can it be done? With the above link I can see I nice structure to look at files.

What is the next step?

Smile

Thanks Rarsa
