FwRevisionSvnInstall

Introduction

NOTE: This page is deprecated as SVN is included in the base framewerk package

This page will assist you in installing fw-revision-svn.

If you've already installed fw-revision-svn and want to know how to use it, check out the walkthrough.

The Easy Way

If you are running a debian package based system (Debian, Ubuntu, Mac OS/X with fink, etc.), just go to the. downloads section and grab the latest .deb files.

The Less Easy Way

Prerequisites:

1. framewerk
2. working subversion installation

• debian: apt-get install subversion
• os/x (with fink): apt-get install svn
• freebsd: pkg_add -r subversion
• others: ???

If you are not running a debian based system, or you just like to kick the tires,. go to the downloads section and grab the latest .tar.gz file.

Unpack the tarball, then run configure and make check.

# tar -zxf fw-revision-svn-0.0.3.tar.gz
# cd fw-revision-svn-0.0.3
# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local && make -s check

The default prefix is /usr so if you are ok with that then you can omit the prefix argument. Hopefully you will see something like[2]

...
PASS: test-revision
==================
All 1 tests passed
==================

If not, the test output is in tests/test-revision.out; perhaps it is informative.

Now you can either make install to just stick stuff on your system, or you can build your own debian package if you are on a debian based system. To do the latter type

# env FW_DUPLOAD_ARGS="-no" make release
...

which should run the tests again and ultimately produce a .deb in fw-pkgout/ in the root directory of the project which you can install.[1]

# ls fw-pkgout/*.deb
fw-pkgout/fw-revision-svn-build_0.0.3_darwin-i386.deb
fw-pkgout/fw-revision-svn_0.0.3_all.deb
# sudo dpkg -i fw-pkgout/fw-revision-svn_0.0.3_all.deb
Selecting previously deselected package fw-revision-svn.
(Reading database ... 51894 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking fw-revision-svn (from .../fw-revision-svn_0.0.3_all.deb) ...
Setting up fw-revision-svn (0.0.3) ...

That's it.

Footnotes

## 1 You might see some errors here if dupload is not installed. Framewerk wants to upload the package it makes to a repository and I'm assuming you don't have one, hence the FW_DUPLOAD_ARGS="-no" (in case you do have dupload installed, this causes it to do a dry run).

If you have dupload installed and your own repository than you can set FW_DUPLOAD_ARGS as desired. For your own projects you can even hard code this in. Check out fw-pkgin/config if you are interested.

If you see something like:

fw requires GNU make to build, you are using bsd make
*** Error code 1

Stop.

Then you are using bsd make which will not work. Try again with gnu make, e.g.,

# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local && gmake -s check
