Subversion version control system information preview?
Mikerman:
Thanks, and in that case it really just seems easiest to start from scratch with a fresh source download from SVN. (Not a hassle, really, unless one has lots of patches, especially where manual changes need to be made.)
bluebrother:
to the best of my knowledge the cvs server is still up, and I'm pretty sure it reflects the state of the last cvs commit. So you can simply cvs diff -u > patchfile and apply that to the new svn tree (and hope that patch didn't break by some changes made in the time between, but during the transition there were only a few commits.)
Mikerman:
And so, I'm a bit confused as to whether CVS is used at the present time, or if one should be using SVN. (And if the latter, I got the message when I tried, "bash: svn: command not found" and I'm sure that it must be something I didn't do although I thought that I followed the SVN-modified "Simple Guide" instructions; sorry if I'm jumping the gun here ...)
PaulPosition:
Hmm, you probably need to get subversion installed... :p
What dev. environment are you using, cygwin or vmware image? I know under debian (which vmware runs) you could 'apt-get update' and then 'apt-get install subversion' .. Under cygwin I don't know but surely someone will tell you if it's not already in the wiki.
Mikerman:
I kinda thought that was it, but didn't see anything in the "Simple Guide" about installing SVN/where to get it. And I was trying to be literal to the instructions, for safety. (It's been so long that I originally installed for CVS whatever I needed to install.)
Where to get SVN/any special instructions as to installing it? Again, I may be jumping the gun on this and perhaps this all was going to come, all in good time.
(In the meanwhile, I was able to update the code I have with CVS--still up and running.)
And I'm in Cgywin-land (and actually did look before leaping).
;)
