Source Code RepositoryIntroduction
The source code of the software projects on this site is stored in a version
control system named Subversion
The repository (as the source code database is referred to) can be made
accessible in several ways, but this one is served by the
Apache web server
The repository is also available in a browsable, read-only form by way of the
ViewCV Using the Repository DirectlyIn order to download (in version control speak: check out) a project's source code, you'll need to get hold of a Subversion client. There are many different clients, some of which have a graphical interface, but I'm only going to explain how to use the standard command line version here. If you have another client, use the details below in combination with the client's own documentation. Checking Out SourcesTo retrieve the latest version of a project's sources you need to know the URL of the appropriate directory in the repository. For example, the sources for the Focus OS are stored under the focus directory. The repository itself is located at http://sources.cosam.org/svn/. Adding the directory to this path gives us the full URL. The command to check out the sources for this project would therefore be: $ svn checkout http://sources.cosam.org/svn/focus This will download the latest version of the sources to a directory named focus. For other projects, simply replace the directory with that of the project in question. If you already have a local copy of a project, and want to make sure you have the latest verison, simply change to the directory of your local copy and issue the update command: $ cd focus $ svn update Subversion will then update the local copy by fetching the differences between your local copy and the latest version on the server. Browsing the Repository
Although all possible using the standard Subversion tools, if you just want to
examine a particular file or look up a file's or project's location, it can be
handier to use a simpler interface. The ViewCV Simply point your web browser to: http://sources.cosam.org/. |
