ESTEL:Subversion

=Introduction= We have decided a while ago to use the subversion revision control system to manage both ESTEL-2D and ESTEL-3D in October 2005. For those who have never used such a tool, this might seems very complicated but it is actually easy to use (at least the basic stuff) and will really help with the traceability of the source code. So now, if you develop on ESTEL, you don't have a choice, you have to learn a bit of subversion. If you use ESTEL and you like using the latest version, subversion can also help you as updating to the latest version is just a few commands away.

=Basics=

Getting an account
To start with, you need a subversion account on the subversion server. To get this, you simply have to ask JP Renaud . Depending on what you want to do with ESTEL, you will either be a developer or a user for either ESTEL-3D or ESTEL-2D. As a bonus, you will get an account on this wiki system too so that you can update the pages if necessary and help others.

How get the source: first import
estel3d --lib/ --sources/ --test.gb/ test1/ test2/

Updating the code on the server
That's it, you've changed things and it's so good you want tothers people to get your changes, why not send them to the subversion attitude. IMPORTANT!!!!

How to send my changes to the server
please check that you really need to send stuff on the server, see above.

svn commit
