Subversion is a version tracking system similar to CVS
Major reasons to move from sourceforge CVS to SVN:
- while most of the firmware has a relatively "free-style" license, copyright of some files (most notably WBO2 code) are restricted, so better be stored off sourceforge
- subversion is technologically better, faster and easier to use
- better authentication and authorization will be applied
Links - since SVN is documented nicely, links are enough for now:
- GenBoard/FirmWare/CVSUsage old CVS repository
- http://subversion.tigris.org/ subversion docs and clients
- install takes 20 seconds in most linux systems, eg. apt-get install subversion command in Debian GNU Linux
- http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ a nice windows client, install in 3 minutes to enjoy all features of SVN
VEMS SVN Layout
Layout is similar as departments on VemsExecutives, like firmware, hardware, etc...
- VEMS svn repository is at: https://svn.x-dsl.hu/svn/vems/
Simple https client (web browser) is enough to view the latest revision (because of nature of SVN, not just head/trunk but of any tags and branches as well) but a real SVN client is needed to commit or view history.
