We have been working towards moving the Companion development environment,
to an external server, located outside of Sun's internal network (SWAN),so that
community members (Sun and non-Sun) will be able to access it directly and
commit approved changes to it.
We are currently beta-testing this project and community members are invited to
test *anonymous* *read-only* access to the test repository now available.
What's Available
================
We have created a test Subversion (SVN) repository containing the Companion
source code. This test repository contains Companion source code created from
a
current development environment.
At the end of the Beta test period, we will replace the test repository with
the
current version of the live repository.
How To Access It
=================
You will need the SVN client application. We have used SVN 1.3.0,which is
available from the opensolaris tools community.
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/tools/dscmdownload
Evaluation SVN binaries and further help on configuring and using SVN are also
available at:
http://svn.opensolaris.org/os/projects/svn_help
Access will only be supported via the svn+ssh: (SSH tunneling) method.
Use the user name, "anon", to access the Beta repository, e.g.:
% svn ls svn+ssh://anon at svn.opensolaris.org/proj/svn/companion/ccd-1/usr/src
% svn co svn+ssh://anon at svn.opensolaris.org/proj/svn/companion/ccd-1/usr/src
You can specify the location for your checked out workspace, e.g.:
% svn co svn+ssh://anon at svn.opensolaris.org/proj/svn/companion/ccd-1/usr/src
/test/ccd_workspace
A full checkout of /usr/src should take approximately 20 minutes, depending on
your connection, etc.
User "anon" does not have commit access.
The corresponding Companion source tarball, as well as binary and source
packages, is available from:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/companion/downloads
Where To Get Support
====================
If you want to report bugs or give feedback on the SVN repository/server,
email:
tools-discuss at opensolaris.org.
If you have comments relating to the Companion code itself, email:
companion-discuss at opensolaris.org.
What Happens Next
=================
The Beta program will continue for approximately 3-4 weeks. We will then move
the live, development SVN repository for the Companion to the external server
at
opensolaris.org.
Watch for further announcements.
===================
NOTE: Sun internal users have experienced some recent problems with proxy
settings. Both of the following settings in .ssh/config are known to work now:
Host *.org
ProxyCommand /usr/lib/ssh/ssh-socks5-proxy-connect -h 192.18.42.17 -p 1080 %h %p
Host *.org
ProxyCommand /usr/lib/ssh/ssh-socks5-proxy-connect -h scaea-socks %h %p
