Source Control
Overview
This project uses Subversion to manage its source code. Instructions on Subversion use can be found at http://svnbook.red-bean.com/.
Repository access
Everyone can access the Subversion repository via HTTPS, but Committers must checkout the Subversion repository via HTTPS.
$ svn checkout https://jikesrvm.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/jikesrvm/rvmroot/trunk jikesrvm
Access through a proxy
The Subversion client can go through a proxy, if you configure it to do so. First, edit your "servers" configuration file to indicate which proxy to use. The files location depends on your operating system. On Linux or Unix it is located in the directory "~/.subversion". On Windows it is in "%APPDATA%\Subversion". (Try "echo %APPDATA%", note this is a hidden directory.)
There are comments in the file explaining what to do. If you don't have that file, get the latest Subversion client and run any command; this will cause the configuration directory and template files to be created.
Example : Edit the 'servers' file and add something like :
[global]
http-proxy-host = proxy.example.com
http-proxy-port = 8080
Write Permission
To commit changes to the repository, execute the following command to commit your changes (svn will prompt you for your password)
$ svn commit --username your-username -m "A message"
Configuring your Subversion client
Please ensure that your subversion client is configured to set the svn:eol-style property automatically. To do that add these directives to the subversion configuration file, which by default is found or created here:
- Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\<login name>\Application Data\Subversion\config
- OSX/Linux: ~/.subversion/config
If a [miscellany] or [auto-props] section already exists in the config file it is important that you append these settings rather than duplicate the section.
