First you need to check out a working copy of the trunk
as below. You can replace the final bibdesk
by any other name you like.
svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/bibdesk/svn/trunk/bibdesk bibdesk
You can choose to get the full trunk by leaving out the trailing /bibdesk
, but this is not needed to build BibDesk.
Developers for the project can use the svn+ssh protocol with your username and password to get a working copy with read/write access.
svn checkout svn+ssh://USERNAME@svn.code.sf.net/p/bibdesk/svn/trunk/bibdesk bibdesk
You can also use the getBibDeskSVN script.
The BibDesk Subversion repository currently has the following layout.
bibdesk/
trunk/
bibdesk/
bibdesk_2_test/
testfiles/
branches/
<branch_name>
bibdesk/
...
tags/
<tag_name>
bibdesk/
...
Main development takes place in the trunk
directory. The branches
are used for temporary feature development and for long term bugfixes of stable versions. The tags
should be used for static snapshots, such as release versions. They should never be modified after creation.
