  • Subversion (SVN) Source Control Management

    Hi Everyone,

    I will be installing SVN on my host server for the project source code repository and documentation. I have been using SVN for PB projects for some time now. I only have used it in a one developer so I have not had sharing code issues, but it works well from what I understand.

    Your welcome to install and use SVN locally or you can wait as I will create some documentation and have an example project for everyone to run through.

    For windows two projects are required:

    First Subversion http://subversion.tigris.org/

    A pre-built Windows Installer is located at http://subversion.tigris.org/project_packages.html

    Second, TortoiseSVN Client - Integrates with Windows for access to SVN.

    I use this tool instead of the svn command line

    SVN will allow the following:
    * A main line development branch
    * Tag each released version (i.e. Alpha, 1.0, 1.1, etc...)
    * Each developer will have their own branch (or more than one)
    * Each branch is merged into the main line when the branch is completed.
    * When checking in code, code can be commented as to why it was changed

    SVN also provides the following

    Compare differences between versions.
    Compare differences between your local copy and the any version in SVN

    As I stated above, I have not used SVN in a multi-developer environment, so this will be a learning experience.

    Feel free to ask questions, comment or provide feedback.

    I've TortoiseSVN installed! ... and working, I think.

    Just waiting for your next update, Brian.

      SVN Update

      My server is being upgraded (new Linux Kernel and Apache). This should be completed in 24 - 48 hours. Once it is completed I'll install SVN (Subversion) and post information on use.

        SVN Status Update

        My server has been upgraded.

        My grandmother is in the hospital so my schedule is up in the air.

        I will get SVN install and documentation written by next Friday.

          Take care of your family first, Brian. We'll be here when you get back. I will include you in my prayers.

            SVN Up and Running

            SVN is up and running.

            I've attached a document in RTF that contains some basic commands.

            There are two repositories:

            Demo - Which the documentation mentions.
            Test - For testing any commands you wish.
            I am setting up the repository for vb2pb

            I'll be posting instructions in a day or two, but this will get everyone installed properly and working.

            I am sending account and passwords in separate PM message to those involved. If you don't get one in the next 24 hours contact Stan Helton for access.

            Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or ideas.

              Svn Vb2pb

              The VB2PB repository for the project is now setup.

              I've updated the documentation and attached them here. The doc is also in the doc directory of the VB2PB project.

                  Brian,
                  Some issues, already, wouldn't you know it?

                  1. The TORTOISE link doesn't download properly. Might be an issue on my end, but I've not had the experience before.
                  2. Two of the other links .../vb2pb and ...demo fill the page with some kind of code I guess, I didn't bother to try and analyze it.

                    Rod,

                    I can't get the link to work either, but I got TortoiseSVN from another site. It is easy to set up and I just ran my first CheckOut without even reading the manual. Here's the link:



                    Get the Win32 msi and you should have no problems setting it up.
                    Be sure to get version 1.4.6 and NOT 1.5.

                      I checked and it is correct. The server is a linux server so capitalization does matter.

                      http://svn.iterationsoft.com/vb2pb should give you a very sparse page.
                      Revision #, links for branches,tags,trunk

                      Are you getting something different?

                      Stan is correct you can download the software from http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...kage_id=151948 as this is where I got it form. You need 1.48.

                        1.48 of Tortoise works.

                        Here is the link on my site http://www.iterationsoft.com/Tortois...-svn-1.4.6.msi

                        Tortoise version 1.48.xxx for SVN 1.4.6 Long name, but says it all

                          I got Tortoise, installed, but yet to reboot.
                          I'll check those other files again after rebooting. They filled with what appeared to be some kind of word list as opposed to code, but I could be wrong on that.

                            I'm adding VB6 test source to the SVN repository as I get them developed.

                              New Name for SVN read access

                              Hi Brian,

                              Can you give John R. Heathcote readonly access to the SVN? He has contributed some code samples and seems interested in contributing more.

                              thanks,
                              Stan

                                Added John R Heathcote and sent him private message with username/password.
