Subversion checkout mirrors

I've mirrored some of the Subversion checkouts into a more convienient tarball form. I've got most of the useful modules, and it should help you download the required code much quicker.

kdesvn-build since version 1.0 will automatically use these snapshots when available. So if you are using the latest kdesvn-build release the instructions below will not apply to you. However I will keep this page available for those who want to manually download the snapshots, as they are useful even if you do not use kdesvn-build.

Note: These tarballs are already set to be updated from the anonsvn.kde.org server, including modules for KDE 3.5 and for KDE 4 (/trunk). I will be adding modules for KDE /trunk as time (and space) permits.

KDE Developers:

If you are a new developer, these may still be useful, but you will have to run svn switch --relocate first to change the checkout URL. The included prepare-svn.sh script can do that for you, using the --mode and --user options, which are described in the included README.

How to use it (this is assuming you do not use kdesvn-build, which will perform the following steps for you):

• Download the tarballs from the links below, save it to your hard drive somewhere.
• For each tarball:
  • Extract the tarball using tar xjvf or Ark
  • Change directory to the newly extracted directory (e.g. cd arts-1.5-svn-r457934)
  • Read the README.svn-nightly, especially if you're a developer.
  • Use the prepare-svn.sh contained in the directory to prepare the checkout. It will run svn update for you as well so you will be completely up to date after it has run. If you have no/poor Internet connectivity you can use the --no-update option to skip that step.
• You should now have a real Subversion checkout of the modules you downloaded.
