About SVN

Browsing SVN

You can browse the source repository with a web browser: http://chianti.ucsd.edu/svn/cytoscape

SVN Access

If you do not have a username on grenache you can check out code anonymously. Note that you are not able to check code IN through chianti. This is meant to be a public resource for people other than cytoscape developers. 

svn co http://chianti.ucsd.edu/svn/cytoscape/trunk cytoscape

If you're a cytoscape developer, you should use grenache to check code in and out. 

svn co svn+ssh://grenache.ucsd.edu/cellar/common/svn/cytoscape/trunk cytoscape

If this doesn't work, you may need to specify your user account, as defined on grenache. For example: 

svn co svn+ssh://username@grenache.ucsd.edu/cellar/common/svn/cytoscape/trunk cytoscape

Or, to check out a specific branch: 

svn co svn+ssh://grenache.ucsd.edu/cellar/common/svn/cytoscape/branches/Cyto-2.7.x_release_branch/ cytoscape_2_7

SVN Access in Eclipse

1. Setup subclipse plugin: http://subclipse.tigris.org/

2. Check out project from UCSD Repository (chianti or grenache): 

 svn+ssh://grenache.ucsd.edu/cellar/common/svn

Otherwise, you can check out project anonymously from: 

http://chianti.ucsd.edu/svn

3. Check in code

Tips and Troubleshooting

General advice for those who have difficulties getting SVN access via the Subclipse in the Eclipse environment. These are not meant to be sequential steps. These are just 4 independent tips that address a range of issues, in no particular order. If just doing #1 works, then you're done. But if not, then #2-4 provide other things to try, leads derived from solutions found in various forums and FAQs.

1. SVN Interface:

2. Define SSH Client for Subversion:

  1. Edit C:\Documents and Settings\*user*\Application Data\Subversion\config and add "ssh = C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\TortoisePlink.exe" after "[tunnels]" heading.

  2. Set environment variable "SVN_SSH" to "C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\TortoisePlink.exe"

3. Request a new password from MikeSmoot. Some old passwords may not work (mine didn't!)

4. Try alternative plugins:

Common Error Messages:

What to Check In

In general you should only check in source files and the files needed to compile the source (e.g. library jar files). You should NOT check in generated files such as jar files that you compiled in your project or .class files. Since these files are created directly from the source, there is no need to check them in and is a waste of disk space.

It can also be problematic to check in IDE configuration files. It is OK to check in the configuration file for that particular project, but anything that is specific to your machine (e.g. lists a specific class path) should be avoided since this will not work in other people's configurations.

Creating New Projects

Given the current configuration of our system, it is rare that you should be creating a new top-level project. In general, you will want to add files to an existing project rather than creating a new project. This holds for new plugins or libraries for cytoscape. To add new files, simple check out the existing project, move your new files into the directory that you'd like to add to the project, and then run svn add directory-to-add to add the files to the project.

If you find that you do need to run the svn import command, then please contact MikeSmoot before doing so.
