Accessing Repositories

There are different paths depending on the access method:

• Local: file:///hosts/ithryn/repos/svn/repo-name
• SSH: svn+ssh://ithryn.net/svn/repo-name
• Web (read-only): https://ithryn.net/svn/repo-name

Standard Repositories

There are several standardized Subversion repositories on Ithryn:

• ithryn-scripts-repo: Contains various system scripts
• tab-repo: Repository for the Tab backup system
• system: Backup of system files (secure, not part of svn group)
• software: Potential home for everything else

Importing a New Project

Projects in subversion are usually organized into three directories:

• project/trunk - Holds the mainline of development, usually compiles
• project/branches - Holds branches for the project (e.g., testing releases)
• project/tags - Holds the tags for the project (i.e., releases)

To import a new project, first create a directory structure as above:

 new_project/branches
 new_project/tags
 new_project/trunk/
                  file1.c
                  file2.c
                  file3.c
  
 svn import new_project svn+ssh://ithryn.net/svn/software/new_project -m "Initial checkin"

To checkout the working copy (the directory new_project must not already exist).

 svn checkout svn+ssh://ithryn.net/svn/software/new_project/trunk new_project
