| |
| I. A FEW POINTERS |
| |
| For an overview of the Subversion project, visit |
| |
| https://subversion.apache.org/ |
| |
| Once you have a Subversion client you can get the latest version |
| of the code with the command: |
| |
| $ svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk subversion |
| |
| |
| |
| II. DOCUMENTATION |
| |
| The main documentation is the Subversion Book - an on-line version |
| can be found at: |
| |
| http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ |
| |
| It is written in DocBook XML, and the sources can be found at: |
| |
| https://svn.code.sf.net/p/svnbook/source/trunk/ |
| |
| If you wish to build the documentation from source, read the |
| en/README file within the book source. |
| |
| |
| |
| III. PARTICIPATING IN THE SUBVERSION COMMUNITY |
| |
| First, read https://subversion.apache.org/docs/community-guide/ |
| It describes Subversion coding and log message standards, as well |
| as how to join discussion lists. |
| |
| Talk on IRC with developers: irc.freenode.net, channel #svn-dev. |
| |
| Read the FAQ: https://subversion.apache.org/faq.html |
| |
| |
| |
| IV. QUICKSTART GUIDE |
| |
| See the final section of the first chapter of the Subversion Book. |
| |
| |
| |
| V. CONVERTING FROM CVS |
| |
| If you're a CVS user trying to move your CVS history over to |
| Subversion, then be sure to visit the 'cvs2svn' project: |
| |
| https://github.com/mhagger/cvs2svn |
| |
| If you are running a Linux or BSD-based system, your distribution |
| might have a cvs2svn package. |
| |
| If cvs2svn doesn't meet your needs, you might try refinecvs |
| written by Lev Serebryakov: |
| |
| http://lev.serebryakov.spb.ru/refinecvs/ |
| |
| Please note that cvs2svn and refinecvs are *separate* projects |
| from Subversion. If you have problems or are confused, contact |
| the authors, not the Subversion lists. |
| |
| Finally, be sure to see Appendix B in the Subversion Book. It |
| contains a very quick overview of the major differences between |
| CVS and Subversion. |
