| |
| I. A FEW POINTERS |
| |
| For an overview of the Subversion project, visit |
| |
| http://subversion.apache.org/ |
| |
| Once you have a Subversion client you can get the latest version |
| of the code with the command: |
| |
| $ svn co http://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: |
| |
| http://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 http://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: http://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: |
| |
| http://cvs2svn.tigris.org |
| |
| You can get the latest released version of the cvs2svn converter |
| from the project downloads area: |
| |
| http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=2976 |
| |
| Please note that the cvs2svn project is a *separate* project from |
| Subversion. If you have problems with cvs2svn or are confused, |
| please email the cvs2svn project's mailing lists, 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. |
