SVN
From Dokeos
The Dokeos developers have switched from CVS to SVN for version control. Here is some info to get started.
Contents |
General
Our repository - which has several branches - is located at https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/dokeos
You can see the repository (read-only view- through the web: http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/dokeos/
- SourceForge info about the Dokeos Subversion repository
- Subversion's homepage listing the features.
- Version Control with Subversion (red-bean book)
We advise you to check out parts of the repository instead of everything at once, to speed things up.
Checking out
https://dokeos.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/dokeos/trunk
gives you just the trunk, not the other branches. Check out
https://dokeos.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/dokeos/branches/DOKEOS_COMMUNITY_2_1_BRANCH/
to get the community release 2.1 branch. Similarly, for the Dokeos 1.6.x branch and the Dokeos LCMS branch:
https://dokeos.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/dokeos/branches/DOKEOS_1_6_STABLE_BRANCH/ https://dokeos.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/dokeos/branches/DOKEOS_LCMS/
Want to test?
You can easily create a project on https://opensvn.csie.org/ in which you can play around and test with Subversion. Or you can also use our sandbox.

Migration

Copying code between branches
Example: copying a folder from the community release to the trunk:
svn copy https://dokeos.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/dokeos/branches/DOKEOS_COMMUNITY_2_1_BRANCH/dokeos/plugin/messages/ https://dokeos.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/dokeos/trunk/dokeos/plugin/messages/ --message "copying cr.21 messages plugin to dokeos 1.8" --username your_username
This could also be done by just copying the folder in your OS and then committing the files, but this way we don't lose version history.
Applying an existing revision to a different place
Example: add a bugfix (revision 9388) from the trunk to the community 2.1 branch
(working dir = directory that contains DOKEOS_COMMUNITY_2_1_BRANCH svn directory)
svn merge -r 9387:9388 https://dokeos.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/dokeos/trunk/dokeos/main/document/downloadfolder.inc.php DOKEOS_COMMUNITY_2_1_BRANCH/dokeos/claroline/document/downloadfolder.inc.php --username dev_name
Renaming a file
SVN allows you to rename a file, not loosing its history, by cumulating *svn copy* and *svn remove* on the same file.
Software
Windows
- Eclipse with Subclipse plugin
- TortoiseSVN note:If you want to test using SVN, without needing to access with external repositories (like https://opensvn.csie.org/), you can very easily create a "local SVN repository" using right-mouse-button on a folder, selecting TortoiseSVN -> Create Repository here. This will create the necessary folders for a complete repository. Next, you can use an "import" to add initial files to this repository. Mind you, it might be a bit confusing with both the repository and the "local working copy" on your localhost, but still it can come in handy.
- SmartSVN
Linux
Most of this software should be available through your package manager
- Eclipse with Subclipse plugin (add http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.0.x in your plugin sources)
- JavaSVN
- KdeSVN
- RapidSVN
- SmartSVN
