Subversion Repositories

We will be using Subversion revision control for all code in this class. For a good introduction of Subversion, please read this chapter of the SVN manual: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.basic.html

Quick Info

Server

The SVN server is located at 'robotteam.cs.uml.edu

User authentication is necessary to access this server. Everyone in the class will have a user account created. If there is a problem, contact Mark Sherman (msherman@cs).

If you are using a command-line client, you will notice that it will prompt you for your password at least twice for every operation. This is extremely annoying, so we highly recommend you create an RSA key with the server instead of using passwords.

Generating an RSA key relationship

For a more full explanation read How to Use RSA keys instead of passwords. Here's all you really need:

Organization

• robotteam.cs.uml.edu/svn/
  • /S08
    • Old, old code. You probably don't want to open this.
  • /S09
    • Last year's code. This is here for occasional reference.
  • /S10
    • Here is our directory.
    • auto
      • Autonomous Challenge files. This is the "main event" course navigation challenge.
    • driver
      • Player drivers representing the robots.
    • hardware
      • Designs and files for custom electronics and other hardware.
    • nav
      • Navigation Challenge files. This is the GPS Waypoint challenge.
    • users
      • sherman
        • This is my directory. I can experiment freely in here.

Checking out from the command line

Working with SVN

If you are collaborating with others on a single project, you should update your local copy before working:

• svn update

When you create a new file in your local copy, it also has to be added to version control:

• svn add obstacle-avoid.cpp

Other linux shell commands, like mkdir, mv, cp, and rm, also exist as svn sub-commands, for organizing the repository:

• cd users
• svn mkdir sherman

After you have modified your local source and feel confident of it's stability, you can 'save' your changes to the repository like so:

• svn commit -m "This message briefly describes what changes I made"
