SVN Help for Non-Developer

Wednesday 25 August 2004 9:34:03 am

Good afternoon!

I downloaded TortoiseSVN and (successfully) installed and created a Repository for Exponential by checking out a stable 3.4 to a sub-directory named EZPublishStable (I'm so creative).

Then, I exported that set of files to another sub-directory called EZPublishBalamara for upload to my Host to which I only have FTP access. I did this so I would not have the svn files taking up space (and time) on my Host.

My first question is, why am I asked for a Usernaem and Password when I try to import the stable version using the
URL http://pubsvn.ez.no/nextgen/stable/3.4/
? Am I not supposed to import the files?

I was able to checkout the files, which was th eonly way I received them.

My next question is, of all of those subdirectories and files, which should I upload to my site to create a functional Exponential site. For example, is the /benchmark or
/unreleased directories necessary to upload?

Thank You!

Val

Hi Valerie

About "import" in turtoise svn: this is used to actually add to the repository, which of course is reserved to the ez crew. You do not need a password for checkout (create a local copy of the svn server, including history) or export a certain revision (no history)
