Assignment 2 (Fall 2013) Q & A

How to setup SVN for the assignment

(Team 7, Yiqi, Oct 12, 2013)

• The assignment is to be done using SVN server on svn://zenit.senecac.on.ca/. We need the following to set it up:

1. Account info

The professor has sent the SVN accounts, user ids, and passwords to all team members. Format:

#btp300_xxxxrep7
btp300_xxxxX1=xxxxxxxx
btp300_xxxxX2=xxxxxxxx
btp300_xxxxX3=xxxxxxxx

• Where the first line is the account, which is also the project directory on Zenit.

• The 2nd, 3rd and 4th lines are user ids and passwords for 3 members (in this case).

(the portion before '=' is the user id, after '=' is the password.)

2. A SVN client

• There are some listed here[1]
• Amount many other choices, Tortoise SVN is a nice one: [2]

3. Setup connection between local computer and the server

• Install the SVN client on your local computer, make a dir for your project, then point your SVN client to this dir as well as the url on Zenit:
• The url should be something like this: svn://zenit.senecac.on.ca/btp300_xxxxrep7
• (Tip:) It may not work if you copy-and-paste the UID and PW to your SVN client's fields. If so, type them in.
