I've been using WinCVS to get sources from the CVS repository, but this obviously doesn't work with the new SVN system. So now what do I do ?

I have to assume there were good reasons for this changeover, hopefully something related to future functionality. But right now the functionality has been reduced to NIL for me and a large number of other users who don't have any way to access the new repository. (Apart from manual web browsing, which really isn't all that useful...)

Several questions arise unbidden at a time like this, such as:
Why wasn't this change announced as coming, telling us what software we now must install ?
Why is there still no info on what software to install, even now after the change ?
Why wasn't the old CVS repository preserved, at least during a transition period ?

Why do we even have a forum for announcements, if this sort of thing isn't even mentioned there...?

Best regards: dlanor

I guess the psp svn changeover went so well that it was done for the ps2cvs without much thought. It caught me by surprise, too.

Here's some details:

Subversion is the real name for what people call 'svn'.

The repository is at: svn://svn.ps2dev.org

You can browse it at: http://svn.ps2dev.org

Most of the interesting stuff seems to be in the 'trunk' directory.

If you have svn installed for the command line, you can use it much like cvs. For example: svn checkout svn://svn.ps2dev.org/ps2/trunk/ps2sdk

Many programs support svn, like TortoiseSvn.

The ps2toolchain script has been updated to grab the latest ps2sdk and ps2client from svn instead of cvs.

Sorry it wasn't more announced, but I had nothing to do with it. :)

I just tried it using TortoiseSVN 1.2.0, Build 3602 with the url svn://svn.ps2dev.org. It says 'No repository found'. Anyone else have any luck?

I suppose I should not have migrated CVS to SVN and then disapeared off to the beach for a few days without an announcement. Sorry about that.

The migration to Subversion was done after I received many complaints about CVS. We trialled Subversion with the PSP repository. This was successful so we decided that migrate ps2cvs over too. The original ps2cvs repository has been split into two separate repositories, ps2 and ps2ware. The main ps2 repository is for libraries and tools. The ps2ware repository is for applications, games, demos and whatever else. I will be removing completely CVS access in a few days. One of the other reasons for the conversion is that I only want to maintain one version control system.

If you would like write access to Subversion please PM me and I will arrange it.

Thanks ooPo for the nice description of getting access.

David. (aka Oobles.)

Has it been setup on this server to use svn over https?

Hi all! I'm new to ps2 development and I want to checkout the svn tree, but my firewall blocks it. Why can't I checkout via http instead of svn? Can the admins configure the repository to http or https so more people could get the sources?

Thanks.
