Subversion (SVN) HOWTO

1. Subclipse

1.1. Installation

• Get the Subclipse plugin for your version of Eclipse (http://subclipse.tigris.org/)
• Follow the installation guidelines

1.2. Import a project from the OpenDRIM SVN repository

• Launch the project wizard:

• In the SVN group select Checkout Projects from SVN:

• You can either create a new repository location or use an existing one. The root of the OpenDRIM SVN repository is http://www.opendrim.org/svn/opendrim.

• From the OpenDRIM SVN repository select the directory that contains the sources you are interested in:

• Note: A SVN project directory contains 3 subdirectories: branches, tags, trunk. The current main development branch is contained in trunk therefore we selected http://www.opendrim.org/svn/opendrim/Linux_Management_Providers/Simple_Identity_Management/trunk in the example.

1.3. Stay scynchronized!

• Once a SVN project is successfully imported you have access to many functions in the 'team' group (right click on the project): commit, update, synchronize, etc.

• The interface is intuitive and you have access to all the basic SVN features

3. Tortoise SVN (Windows)

• Tortoise SVN is a SVN client for MS Windows (http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/)
• Tortoise SVN functions are available from the Windows shell and integrated in Windows Explorer. It also has a browsing feature.
