Starting with the source: which dir checkout?

Forum thread started by senseiwa on Wed, 2005-04-20 19:38

Hi.

I'm really interested in Haiku, and I'd like to contribute to the project. So... My question is simple. What part of the repository should I checkout?

The whole svn://svn.berlios.de/haiku/?

Or svn://svn.berlios.de/haiku/haiku/?

The trunk svn://svn.berlios.de/haiku/haiku/trunk/?

The most important difference for you is that you don't want to check out the entire repository anymore: unlike CVS, Subversion would leave you with all tags and branches as separate files on your hard drive - which totals in about 1.4 GB of files at the moment. Instead, you will specifically ask for the "trunk" only - that's what you already know as the CVS root now.

To get a copy of the current Haiku tree (and Haiku only), you would write something like this:

svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/haiku/haiku/trunk [directory-name]
