−
−	~~== Setting up Subversion for Developer Use ==~~
−
−	~~The first thing you will want to do is setup the ssh access to svn.gna.org. If you cannot type~~
−
−	~~svn list svn+ssh://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/devmodules~~
−
−	~~without having to type a password or in some way change the above command, read below.~~
−
−	~~=== If you have a different username on your system than on svn.gna.org ===~~
−
−	~~To get around this problem, you can setup per host SSH settings. To do this, open ~/.ssh/config~~
−	~~and at the end add the lines~~
−
−	~~Host svn.gna.org~~
−	~~User aeruder~~
−
−	~~This makes it so that everytime I connect to svn.gna.org with SSH, it will automatically use the username~~
−	~~aeruder instead of my unix username.~~
−
−	~~=== If you are prompted for a private key password ===~~
−
−	~~This will look something like:~~
−
−	~~Enter passphrase for key '/home/andy/.ssh/id_dsa':~~
−
−	~~To get around this you can either setup ssh-agent to cache this password or you can simply turn off the password on your private key.~~
−	~~To do the latter, simply type:~~
−
−	~~ssh-keygen -t dsa -p~~
−
−	~~and follow the prompts, and when it prompts for a new passphrase, simply hit enter.~~
−
−	~~=== Subversion on Windows ===~~
−
−	~~[http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ TortiseSVN] is the preferred Subversion client on Windows.~~
−
−	~~For developers checking out devmodules, follow these instructions to get your system to remember your private key password (see the sections "PuTTY Configuration" and Pageant and "TortoiseSVN Usage").~~
−
−	~~http://matttrent.com/blog/2005/aug/21/how-use-ssh-agent-windows-tortoisesvn/~~
−
−	~~You will need the tools Putty, Puttygen, and Pageant from [http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html].~~
−
−	~~Subversion could also be obtained from Cygwin, however the Cygwin subversion client is currently broken for me (and less convenient than TortiseSVN.)~~
−
−	~~== Some background on repository layout ==~~
−
−	~~To familiarize yourself with the layout, I would recommend looking at the [http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/gnustep/ web-access to svn]~~
−	~~for GNUstep. You will notice that every project is in its own portion of the repository. For example:~~
−
−	~~/libs~~
−	~~/libs/gui~~
−	~~/libs/gui/trunk~~
−
−	~~/libs/gui/branches~~
−	~~/libs/gui/branches/dawn~~
−	~~/libs/gui/branches/...~~
−
−	~~/libs/gui/tags~~
−	~~/libs/gui/tags/alex_last_semistable~~
−	~~/libs/gui/tags/...~~
−
−	This layout is very handy for having a per-project repository. I can easily branch or tag just /libs/gui and it all stays in its own namespace. However, what this DOES mean is that you cannot simply checkout /libs/gui or you will end up with several copies of the source. To get around this, we are using a nifty feature of Subversion called externals. Externals are metadata on a directory that basically tell the svn client to checkout some other url into a subdirectory when it is checked out. So if I type:
−
−	~~svn proplist -v svn+ssh://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/devmodules/core~~
−
−	~~It will tell me that the svn:externals property contains:~~
−
−	~~gui svn+ssh://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/libs/gui/trunk~~
−	~~back svn+ssh://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/libs/back/trunk~~
−	~~base svn+ssh://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/libs/base/trunk~~
−	~~make svn+ssh://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/tools/make/trunk~~
−
−	So everytime I checkout /devmodules/core the svn client will automatically go to these URLs and check them out into subdirectories. When I make changes in gui/ and commit them, it will really commit to /libs/gui/trunk. For the most part if you checkout /devmodules, the externals have already been setup such that it will checkout something similar to checking out the whole repository before.
