[Dspace-general] Important changes to the DSpace SVN repository

[Stuart Lewis]

Hi all,

 

The DSpace committers group recently announced a reorganisation of the
DSpace SVN code repository that is hosted by SourceForge.net:
http://www.mail-archive.com/dspace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net/msg07584.h
tml  These changes allowed us to structure the code repository in such a
way as to allow the continuing development of DSpace 1.6 and 2.0 in an
efficient manner.

 

The committers group have now made another change which we believe will
assist the DSpace community to work more effectively, foster higher
levels of user contribution, and improve the development process:

 

We have moved the subversion code repository from its current home at
SourceForge (http://dspace.svn.sf.net/) to a new dedicated server
(http://scm.dspace.org/) that has been kindly donated by the Oregon
State University's Open Source Lab (http://osuosl.org/).

 

There are many advantages to this move including:

 

-          Fine grained access control which will allow us to host
sub-projects or to give individual users contribution access to parts of
the code base.

-          Better performance levels than SourceForge sometimes provides

-          More flexibility to use SVN as we require

 

The main change for developers now is to note the location of our SVN
repository, and to start using that to build against rather than the
SourceForge version. If you spot any documentation that needs updating,
please either update it yourself (in the case of the wiki), or add it to
JIRA (http://jira.dspace.org/).

 

The locations you now need to use are:

 

-          DSpace SVN: http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/dspace/

-          Dspace 2.0 SVN: http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/dspace2/

-          SVN browse: http://scm.dspace.org/trac/dspace/browser

 

If you have any questions relating to this change, please direct them to
the dspace-devel list.

 

(The email lists and other services provided by SourceForge will stay.
It is just the code repository than has moved). 

 

Best wishes,
