I'm a bit shocked that a development/open source site is using Windows-centric software to provide links to open source software....

Obviously this won't run on my Linux box. I think you should really consider providing alternate links if you are going to be providing these software services.

Thanks for the help though.

There are svn (subversion) clients for linux
I wrote the info for SVN connectivity, but I'm on a Windows machine so I don't have much experience with svn under linux and no one has offered to write a guide

The links on http://www.wowroster.net/SVNergy/repos.html are links for ANY svn client, not just TortoiseSVN

I would suggest Google for info on using svn in linux
(I *think* RapidSVN might be available on linux, there are command line clients as well)


As a suggestion, before blasting someone, do a bit a research

I've used a python-based SVN wrapper for a while, but nowadays I use the 'official' command-line client. Check http://subversion.tigris.org and http://svnbook.red-bean.com

If you are running linux use yum to install svn, which then you will have full linux svn access.

Code: Select all

yum install svn

Package managers are distribution-specific. Fedora (and redhat, I think) use yum. Debian and derivatives use apt-get. Other distributions use other package managers.
The SVN package may be called svn, subversion, or some other name.

Oh, and split and moved the off-topic discussion.

Sorry Zanix..I wasn't trying to blast ya! I guess it sounded a bit negative :shock:

I'm a linux girl living in a windows world

Thanks everybody for the responses...I'm a bit noobish sometimes

It did sound a little negative...
But I try to respond without yelling back or accusing the poster of a temporary lapse of common courtesy because of a comment that sends me into mass convulsions and incredible urges to slap someone with a giant trout (or salmon)

Either way I apologize and accept your noobishness
