Subversion (svn)

Overview

Subversion is a version control system, which allows you to keep old versions of files and directories (usually source code), keep a log of who, when, and why changes occurred, etc.,

Version 1.7.14 is installed on the CSF.

If you require a different version to the one installed we advise that you install it in your home directory.

Restrictions on use

All users of the system can access the software.

Set up procedure

This software is automatically available in your path. You do not need to load a module file.

Running the application

On the command line type svn.

June 2023: The proxy is no longer available. To access repos that are off campus, please run the svn command from a batch job or interactive session on a compute node. There is NO need to load the proxy modulefile or make any additional settings.

If you have previously added the proxy to your local svn config file, you should remove those settings. Remove the following from your ~/.subversion/servers config file:

#  REMOVE THESE SETTINGS FROM YOUR ~/.subversion/servers FILE:
[global]
http-proxy-host = proxy.man.ac.uk
http-proxy-port = 3128
http-compression = no

Further info
