Open projects, want to contribute?

@JosDuchIt

I've activated the basic access for you (step 1). Now you have to go through step 2 and 3.

@orgin


I tried to update my profile, added an SVN password, hit the "update " button but nothing happens visulalay.

getting back to shell commands i get


10.Stock:Backup_Datas/Programmeren/subversion-1.1.4/bin-os4> svn checkout svn://openamiga.org/projects/...
svn: Authorization failed

@JosDuchIt

From the svn page:

"Don't use the svn url:// in the above example, the actual svn:// url is provided on the information page of the project that you want to check out. "

Which means that you have to complete step 3 and then use the svn url for that specific project.

@orgin

Ok i might want to contribute to the Assignmgr and to the program i suggested.

I might upload the ReqList.c source there
Can you spell out step 3?

@JosDuchIt

OKey I've assigned you to both projects:

http://openamiga.org/index.php?function=viewproject&projectid=68

http://openamiga.org/index.php?function=viewproject&projectid=19

The svn url's are available at the bottom of each page.

Make sure that you check out each project in their own separate directories.

"3. Joining the project that you wish to contribute to. "

This means that you become either the assignee or a project member. You are an assignee on both projects above.

@JosDuchIt

Make sure that you follow these instructions before uploading anything:

http://openamiga.org/index.php?function=viewpage&pageid=22

@orgin

being assigned to the AssignMgr is a bit above my ambitions.
My idea was to help Daedalus.


@Daedalus
Could you agree with the above and upload your source?

@JosDuchIt

He is not assigned to any of the projects, so there's noone to help.

Remember that his (non openamiga) project is MUI-based which makes it disqualified as an AmigaOS 4 component and thus as an OpenAmiga project.

Do not upload any MUI based sources to the openamiga svn.

@orgin

How does the initial upload reads?

is it an anrchive you upload or do you point towards an initial local directory

@JosDuchIt

You just add the files and directories using the svn add command and then do svn commit to upload them.

- Create a local directory for your project.
- use "svn checkout" inside that directory to tie it to the svn
- create directories and files in you local file system inside the directory.
- use "svn add" to let svn know that you want to add a file or directory
- use "svn commit" to upload the file(s).


Once you have added a file and commited it you do not need to use the "svn add" command for that file any more. Further usages of "svn commit" will automatically detect any changes to any previously added files.

@JosDuchIt

You can see svn as a sync tool rather than a ftp tool.

It helps you to synchronise a local directory and its contents with the server.

svn checkout - tell svn that you want a synced directory and download verything from the server.

svn update - download any new changes from the server

svn commit - upload any changes to the server

svn add - add something new to keep in sync

@orgin

Is there a wildcard you can use ?

> svn add #? --auto-props
does not work

11.Stock:Backup_Datas/Gui4Cli/C/RequestList_/AOpen> svn add contributors.txt --auto-props
svn: '.' is not a working copy

neither, seems some svn: assign is needed too?

@JosDuchIt

You need to cd into the subdirectory that was created when you did svn checkout.

(I guess it's "Stock:Backup_Datas/Gui4Cli/C/RequestList_/AOpen/68/" in your case.)

@JosDuchIt

Have you checked out the svn first then cd inot the direcotory you checked out? There will be a .svn dir there if it is a working copy.

I think '*' is the wild card in svn. Becareful with it though as you don;t want to add object files to the svn usually and a wildcard night easily add those.



Be aware also that svn is built with linunix and uses unix style paths.

You can also add recusively, by specifying a directory rather than a file.

You will have noticed that you can do

svn help

and svn help <command>

to get help.

@orgin

and put all the local files in there first ?


@broadblues, i d see the .svn directroy and its subdirectories

My local files are as shown
11.Stock:Backup_Datas/Gui4Cli/C/RequestList_/AOpen> list
68 Dir ----rwed Today 13:06:22
contributors.txt 112 ----rwed Today 12:06:03
src Dir ----rwed Today 12:52:23
release Dir ----rwed Today 12:52:23
documentation Dir ----rwed Today 12:00:49
1 file - 112 bytes - 4 directories - 10 blocks used


i lookde at

svn add --help


but i am not acqunted with linuw style paths so an example xomman might help

@JosDuchIt

Yes you must place your local file tree under "68". This is the root direcory of you project. It's the same number as the project ID on the OpenAmiga web site.

@orgin & broadblues, thanks for help, all is uploaded.

@JosDuchIt

I created this new guide to make thinsg easier to understand:

http://openamiga.org/index.php?function=viewpage&pageid=19#svneasy


(Seems you forgot to do svn commit)

Quote:

I've definitely used #? before, so I think it uses AmigaDOS-style pattern matching.

Obviously if * is switched on in DOS prefs that'll work too.

@orgin

http://openamiga.org/index.php?function=editpage&pageid=19#svneasy

presents an empty page.

Count on me for foolproof+ testing of instructions :)

I got .svn drawers all over the place (in src, document, drawer )..

I guess thers should be only one in 68 drawer?
Deleting them and starting things over
