Subversion

Basic setup
For new projects we provide Subversion repositories instead of CVS as so far. To access that you need a subversion client:


 * Subversion homepage
 * Subversion for OS/2

There are also versions for Linux, BSD, Mac & Windows.

The OS/2 version seems to have a bug right now, you have to SET LANG=en_US to get it to work properly at the moment.

Simple checkout
After you installed subversion you can do a checkout of a project like this:

svn co --username http://svn.netlabs.org/repos/projectname

Where projectname needs to be replaced by one of our projects for sure :)

More
We will show some more examples later, feel free to add more yourself :)

svn: Can't recode string
If you get this error you might change the following variables:

export LC_CTYPE="de_CH.UTF-8" export LANG="de_CH.UTF-8"

(use SET on OS/2 instead of export)

instead of de_CH you should choose your correct value like en_US or so. Note that it's in general a bad idea to use umlauts in filenames and this problem definitely has to do something with such chars in filenames.

netlabs.org TRAC
TRAC is a very nice bugtracking software combined with much more, like a Wiki, a SVN Webinterface and so on. We will write more about TRAC soon, so far you can check the current repositories:
