Trunk link for TortoiseSVN?

MusicallyInspired · Post by **MusicallyInspired** » Sat Aug 07, 2010 12:28 am

Like ScummVM, I'd like to get the ResidualVM source trunk link set up with TortoiseSVN so I can keep it updated. But the link on the website keeps saying that it has temporarily moved. But if I go to it in my web browser it's fine. Is there a correct link that works with TortoiseSVN?

Code: Select all

https://residual.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/residual

I always use this with my Linux PC and PySVN Workbench.
It worked just now and has always worked since I set it up maybe 6 months back.
I'd suggest maybe something you need to do with Tortoise first (I've never used it) but if you have ScummVM set up OK then you'd be aware of that anyway. Not forgetting the 's' at the start (after 'p') are you maybe?

That's not the same link that's on the website so I never used it. The one on the website (on the sidebar) is completely different:

Code: Select all

http://residual.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/residual/residual/trunk/

At any rate that one works. Thanks.

That link is for the online viewvc interface. You can't actually use an svn client on that.

It's better to use this (as to not get all the branches, etc.):

Code: Select all

https://residual.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/residual/residual/trunk

Yes I should of pointed that out about the branches.

I do actually use the one I posted. Let me tell you a story.
I set up ScummVM some time before ResidualVM. This was early days for me and Linux and Source Forge and rolling my own builds of anything. Accidentally I downloaded the whole damn repo! I think I'd left it to download on it's own and went and done something else around the house.
I'm not short on storage so since then I've just left it. I have a complete hard drive back up of my home folder as well so when I've reformatted the hard drive for a new OS distribution, most recently Ubuntu 10.04, I can just copy it from the back up into the new home folder.
When it came to setting up ResidualVM I thought I'd just do the same although I wouldn't if it was as big as ScummVM where my whole repo folder is 1.8GB!
Something that I do find handy having a complete repo is when GSOC is running like at present I can see a list of all the file commits which wouldn't be possible with just a main trunk folder. Of course it's not the correct way and to find out what they are exactly I'd need to check elsewhere like the page 'SCM Repositories' but usually that sort of stuff is above me anyway so it's enough for me just to get some idea of what's going on from the file names - and I must say it looks like plenty is being achieved with GSOC.
So if by some strange coincidence Source Forge and every other hard drive in the world suddenly died except mine then I might be able to help - although it won't be cheap
