Using Subversion on Cygwin

Notes:

• You must have the subversion package installed under Cygwin. Run Setup.exe and fetch the package from a Cygwin mirror, usually the same one which you used to install Cygwin earlier on.
• Subversion is installed in the bin directory. You should be able to see the binary svn.exe in there.
• It is assumed that you are starting in your Cygwin user home.
• Take note that Cygwin Subversion works the same way as its counter part on Linux.

Cygwin and Subversion commands:

Launch Cygwin, of course.

cyg-10: Getting help on subversion

Getting help:

$ svn --help

Preparation and Compiling Athena

cyg-11: Creating a directory

Create Athena source repository on Cygwin:

$ mkdir /home/svn

Change directory:

$ cd /home/svn

cyg-12: Checkout http://svn.eathena.ws/svn/ea/branches/stable

Get Athena source code:

where URL is the target repository

$ svn co URL

cyg-16: Updating Athena source codes

Update Athena source code:

Note that URL is not required

$ svn up

cyg-13: Listing files in a directory

Check contents:

$ ls stable

Note that the directory name is different on the image.

cyg-14: Creating a Windows directory with Cygwin

Create export directory, e.g. C:\Athena, using Cygwin:

$ mkdir /cygdrive/c/Athena

This command is seldom used in Cygwin. Note the use of cygdrive to denote a FAT32 or NTFS partition and the use of slash instead of back slash.

If this directory is created, you must use the --force switch when exporting versioned contents from one directory to another, i.e. adding --force after "svn export".

cyg-05: The export command

Export source codes:

The above command will do svn export and make directory in one go

$ svn export stable/* /cygdrive/c/Athena

If Athena directory already exists, use the following command:

$ svn export --force stable/* /cygdrive/c/Athena

cyg-15: Getting revision number wiht svn info

To obtain revision number:

$ svn info
