− | + | ==Choose a subversion client== | |
− | + | For source code management, i.e. software versioning and revision control, we use the subversion system. You need to install a subversion client on your computer to access and work with it properly. | |

− | + | Most users will want to use the [https://subversion.apache.org/ Apache Software Foundation (ASF) subversion] command line interface (CLI), as provided, on most distributions, by the 'subversion' package. Many distributions also provide graphical interfaces which are either frontends to the ASF subversion CLI or are standalone. | |

− | == | + | ====Windows==== |
− | |||
− | + | If you fancy graphical interfaces then [http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ Tortoise] is for you. If you actually like to work on a command line interfaces, then [http://www.sliksvn.com/en/download/ SlikSVN] is the utility you want. | |

− | + | Windows 7 note: If you are going to use subversion on 64-bit Windows 7 and get error messages like ''The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable'' then that's because your OS's only primary file system [http://glest.org/glest_board/?topic=5611.msg58480#msg58480 is buggy]. | |

− | + | This will check out the '''trunk''' directory, which is where active development takes place in. Each release is 'tagged' and a copy resides in the '''tags''' directory, so if you wanted an older release you would check out something below | |
− | Each release is 'tagged' and resides | + | https://megaglest.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/megaglest/tags/ |
− | + | instead. Just use your web browser to click on this URL and see which ones are available. | |
− | + | Branches are created in the '''branches''' subdirectory when required to seperate larger changes from active / stable development, so replace 'trunk' by 'branches' and check with your web brower which ones are available if this is your intention. | |
