Subversion Notes

Connecting to our unix server:

bigmazzy.math.uaa.alaska.edu
Your username: UAA username (e.g. kjmock)
Your password: Your student ID (e.g. 30410401)

You can use a program like putty to connect. You must use a ssh client. Here is a basic unix tutorial for moving around: http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/

Make a repository - You can skip this step since I made one for each group already, but if you want your own repository accessible via the bigmazzy file system then follow these steps

Make directory for subversion: mkdir ~/svn
Make readable if sharing with other users: chmod -R 777 svn (A better approach is to make it group readable only if you want a group to be set up, otherwise anyone with an account can change your project files)
Make source folder: mkdir ~/myproject
Import: svn import myproject file:///home/student/yourusername/svn/myproject -m "comment on initial import"

Initial checkout of project

Checkout codebase: svn checkout http://www.math.uaa.alaska.edu/svn/project_name

Here, project_name is your project's assigned name (e.g. ccel, medical, chugach).

Adding Files

Create files: pico foo.cpp, vi stuff.cpp, etc.

svn add foo.cpp stuff.cpp

svn commit -m "comment about new files"

Editing Files

First get latest files: svn update

Edit: vi foo.cpp

svn commit -m "Changed blah blah"

Tortoise SVN

Windows client. Download from: http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/

Checkout URL: http://www.math.uaa.alaska.edu/svn/project_name.

You can also navigate to the URL in your web browser and browse through the repository code after logging in. If you like you can also use https, although the certificate on the server has expired and is self-generated so you'll get warning messages (although your data will be encrypted).
