SVN commands

Please see TechnicalReports#a17112010? to understand SVN server tree and authorizations for ORCHIDEE.

See this link :

http://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/orchidee/browser

to watch the tree (only open directories).
You can use trunk dir or tags/ORCHIDEE_1_9_5.

Subversion server

ORCHIDEE default login/password is avaible to read trunk and all tags directories (sechiba/...).

Subversion by ssh

This is the old way to work on SVN for ORCHIDEE. You can use it only if one admin of ORCHIDEE has given a login/password to you !
Then, you will have an access to all versions of the model.

This is strickly forbidden for simple ORCHIDEE developpers !

Thank's to modify only your own reserved branch by this way.
Because all the server will be accessible by this way.

svn co svn+ssh://my_forge_login@forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/ipsl/forge/projets/orchidee/svn/[trunk|tags|branches|perso]

SVN Config files

They are in ~/.subversion directory. This directory must be open only for you ! as in

/home/mylogin 2> ls -la .subversion/
total 104
drwx------   3 mylogin mygroup  4096 2010-12-01 09:47 .

You must change the right if it is not "drwx------" (but "drwxr-xr-x" for example), like this :

/home/mylogin 2> chmod -R og-rx .subversion/

because your ORCHIDEE svn password will be write in some subdir and it is not safe.

Two config files are in this .subversion dir :

• config
• server

For config file, you may want to save yours ORCHIDEE password in .subversion tree. There will be no need to enter them again for each of your logins. You can switch on :

• store-passwords = yes
• store-auth-creds = yes

Please read the comment to be sure it is what you want !

For server file, you may want to bypass Subversion message about clearly saving the password. You can switch on the store-plaintext-passwords option of groups section :

[groups]
[...]
store-plaintext-passwords = yes
