Repository URLs
The various base URLs look like:
anonymous: http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash/trunk developer: svn+ssh://username@svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash/trunk trac: http://svn.gnucash.org/trac
Note: if you are having problems with the http:// anonymous access, make sure your subversion is compiled with neon support.
Common Commands
To get what used to be CVS HEAD (and now includes what used to be gnucash-gnome2-dev), you will need to get the svn TRUNK:
svn checkout http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash/trunk gnucash
The argument "gnucash" above can be whatever you want your local directory to be called, and is optional. If you leave it out, you'll have a directory called "trunk" created containing all the source code.
If you want the latest 1.8.x code, you'd need to pull from the 1.8 branch, as follows:
svn checkout http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash/branches/1.8 gnucash-1.8
And if you want the released code for a specific release (or tag), you'd use:
svn checkout http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash/tags/1.8.12 gnucash-1.8.12
And to update, just cd into the directory containing the sources you want updated and execute a simple
svn update
You probably want to read on on the Building page.
SVN tutorial
Now that the gnucash repository is using svn for version control (since 2005-11-04), the need for a quick tutorial on how to get the sources might be in order. There was some introduction about SVN in an e-mail on gnucash-devel:
The excellent "Version Control with Subversion is a very good resource for information about subversion.
Specifically, Chapter 3. Guided Tour and Appendix A. Subversion for CVS Users are relevant.
The command-line client `svn` has a nice integrated help system; `svn help` will provide the top-level command list, and `svn help <command>` detailed help for the specific command.
The bottom line is that getting the source via svn isn't altogether different from getting it using cvs.
CVS to SVN cross reference
| *CVS command* | *SVN command* | *notes* |
| cvs checkout | svn checkout | |
| cvs commit | svn commit | |
| cvs status | svn status | ...but the svn one is actually useful :) |
| cvs log | svn log | |
| cvs annotate | svn blame | |
| cvs diff | svn diff | |
| cvs diff -D 2006-01-01 | svn diff -r {2006-01-01}:HEAD | |
| cvs update | svn update, svn switch | |
| cvs update -C | svn revert | |
| cvs update -j [...] | svn merge | |
| ---- | svn resolved [conflicting merges must be explicitly resolved] | |
| cvs add | svn add, svn mkdir | |
| cvs remove | svn delete | |
| ---- | svn move | |
| cvs [r]tag [-b] | svn copy |
Enjoy!
SVN write access
FAQ: Is it possible to get SVN write access?
A: In principle yes, but we are quite conservative with giving out new SVN write accounts. For occasional changes people are encouraged to submit patches. We do add people as developers if then stick around, supply lots of patches, become highly involved in the project, hang out on IRC, and generally show some level of clue and prove some level of trust. But in the meantime, patches in email are the suggested route, as has been stated at other places. --Cstim 08:00, 8 January 2006 (EST)
