The first part of my project was uneventful. Logging into our cirdles “playground” was straightforward and completed without any problems at all. The real problem was, “what do I do here?” I could view and edit, but had no way of uploading my own content to the repository. I had done some checking and discovered that Subversion was already installed on my box when I installed Ubuntu.
After some searching (and scratching what hair I have left) I was guided toward the realization that I needed a client to accomplish task at hand. I initially tried NetBeans and had no problems setting up the connection with our repository but was unsuccessful in getting it to work for me. Next I found Subcommander (which only needed to be installed though the Synaptic Package Manager) that is showing promise. I was actually able to sync my local box with the repository but when I tried to “commit” my own files, I wasn't able to see them in our “playground.”
I'm sure I am overlooking something and will try again tomorrow before asking for help. Netbeans will probably be what I will use, but it would be good to know a couple of ways to put subversion to work. I was a little disappointed that I didn't get to the source code today...completely ran out of time and other work took priority...now I'll have to try to get it done over the weekend instead of getting ahead.
