.. _Docutils: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/

.. admonition:: Quick Instructions

   To get a checkout of the Docutils source tree (without the
   sandboxes), type ::

       svn checkout http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/docutils/trunk/docutils

   If you are going to commit changes to the repository, please read
   the **whole document**, especially the section "`Information for
   Developers`_"!

Docutils uses a Subversion_ repository located at ``svn.berlios.de``.
Subversion is exhaustively documented in the `Subversion Book`_
(svnbook).

While Unix and Mac OS X users will probably prefer the standard
Subversion command line interface, Windows user may want to try
TortoiseSVN_, a convenient explorer extension.  The instructions apply
analogously.

Note that while the repository and the snapshots reside at BerliOS_,
all other project data (web site, releases, mailing lists, trackers)
is hosted by SourceForge.net_.

For the project policy on repository use (check-in requirements,
branching, etc.), please see the `Docutils Project Policies`__.

Accessing the Repository
========================

General Information
-------------------

Web Access
~~~~~~~~~~

The repository can be browsed and examined via the web at
http://svn.berlios.de/viewvc/docutils/.


Repository Access Methods
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To get a checkout of the Docutils repository, first determine the root
of the repository depending on your preferred protocol::

    svn://svn.berlios.de/docutils                     (anonymous)
    http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/docutils      (anonymous + developers)
    https://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/docutils     (anonymous + developers)
    svn+ssh://<username>@svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/docutils
                                                      (developers only)


Checking Out the Repository
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To check out only the current main source tree of Docutils, type ::

    svn checkout ROOT/trunk/docutils

(Substitute your preferred repository root for ROOT.)  To check out
everything (main tree, sandboxes, web site, and parallel projects),
type ::

    svn checkout ROOT/trunk docutils

This will create a working copy of the whole trunk in a new directory
called ``docutils``.

Note that you probably do *not* want to check out the ROOT itself
(without "/trunk"), because then you'd end up fetching the whole
Docutils tree for every branch and tag over and over again.

To update your working copy later on, ``cd`` into the working copy and
type ::

    svn update


Switching the Repository Root
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you changed your mind and want to use a different repository root,
``cd`` into your working copy and type::

    svn switch --relocate OLDROOT NEWROOT


Information for Developers
--------------------------

If you would like to have write access to the repository, register
with SourceForge.net_ and BerliOS_, and send your SourceForge.net and
BerliOS user names to docutils-develop@lists.sourceforge.net.
(Note that there may be a delay of several hours until you can commit
changes to the repository.)


Setting Up Your Subversion Client For Development
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before commiting changes to the repository, please ensure that the
following lines are contained (and uncommented) in your local
~/.subversion/config file, so that new files are added with the
correct properties set::

    [miscellany]
    # For your convenience:
    global-ignores = ... *.pyc ...
    # For correct properties:
    enable-auto-props = yes

    [auto-props]
    *.py = svn:eol-style=native;svn:keywords=Author Date Id Revision
    *.txt = svn:eol-style=native;svn:keywords=Author Date Id Revision
    *.html = svn:eol-style=native;svn:keywords=Author Date Id Revision
    *.xml = svn:eol-style=native;svn:keywords=Author Date Id Revision
    *.tex = svn:eol-style=native;svn:keywords=Author Date Id Revision
    *.css = svn:eol-style=native;svn:keywords=Author Date Id Revision
    *.patch = svn:eol-style=native
    *.sh = svn:eol-style=native;svn:executable;svn:keywords=Author Date Id Revision
    *.png = svn:mime-type=image/png
    *.jpg = svn:mime-type=image/jpeg
    *.gif = svn:mime-type=image/gif


Setting Up SSH Keys
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you are a developer and you are using the svn+ssh access method
instead of https or http, you may want to set a public & private key
pair, so that you can access the shell and Subversion servers without
having to enter your password.

To do this, log in on BerliOS_ and copy and paste your SSH public key
into the edit box on the "`CVS/SVN/SSH Shared Keys`__" page.  Further
instructions are available on this page.

Migration from SourceForge.net
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Developers who had write-access for Docutils' CVS repository on
SourceForge.net should `register with BerliOS`__ and send a message
with their BerliOS user name to docutils-develop@lists.sourceforge.net.

Repository Layout
=================

The following tree shows the repository layout::

    docutils/
    |-- branches/
    |   |-- branch1/
    |   |   |-- docutils/
    |   |   |-- sandbox/
    |   |   `-- web/
    |   `-- branch2/
    |       |-- docutils/
    |       |-- sandbox/
    |       `-- web/
    |-- tags/
    |   |-- tag1/
    |   |   |-- docutils/
    |   |   |-- sandbox/
    |   |   `-- web/
    |   `-- tag2/
    |       |-- docutils/
    |       |-- sandbox/
    |       `-- web/
    `-- trunk/
        |-- docutils/
        |-- sandbox/
        `-- web/

The main source tree lives at ``docutils/trunk/docutils/``, next to
the sandboxes (``docutils/trunk/sandbox/``) and the web site files
(``docutils/trunk/web/``).

``docutils/branches/`` and ``docutils/tags/`` contain (shallow) copies
of either the whole trunk or only the main source tree
(``docutils/trunk/docutils``).
