A Half Million Things (Part 2: KDE, Subversion and SVK)
So KDE switched to subversion (yeah, i noticed :)), yay. So first thing i did was trying svk on it. Crunched, crunched, died. Oops. Bug in SVN::Mirror. Ran to
svk, bugged clkao. Turned up next day, grabbed fixed version from clkao =).
Read some swearing on SVN::Mirror from clkao’s pen^Wkeyboard. Mirrored kdelibs and kdebase trunk with a little bunch of revision history (not much, just few revisions each). Pulling ever since, seems worky. No local branches so far, hadn’t had time for such experiments :-).
As for svk, it’s not exatly overdocumented, but in debian, apt-get install svk and svk help are your friends. Otherwise, i’d try the “svk homepage”:http://svk.elixus.org. To reproduce in short what svk is: distributed branching, advanced merge features, offline operation all on top of standard subversion repositories (like KDE one). Roxorz. Yeah, it’s in perl, but, err… I don’t care. It’s pretty damn good anyway :-).
