Besides, it takes a lot of space, compared to a git-svn clone. Many on the list are using this last one instead of svn; the steps are documented in this thread: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-ooo-dev/201108.mbox/%3Cj3frmh$6of$1...@dough.gmane.org%3E http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-ooo-dev/201108.mbox/%3c20110829161136.gh24...@kulungile.erack.de%3E Here are the steps I take: I like having different repos for trunk/main and trunk/l10n, so: mkdir trunk cd trunk git svn clone --revision 1183367:HEAD https://svn-master.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ooo/trunk/main git svn clone --revision 1166306:HEAD https://svn-master.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ooo/trunk/extras you can get the latest revision for the --revision switch reading the "Rev." column in http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/ooo/trunk/ extras/ r1166306 main/ r1183367 If you are going to make changes, IMO the best is to use git branch feature: cd trunk/main git checkout -b patches creates a branch named "patches" and switches to it. Once you've done your changes, add the modified files and commit them. You can generate patches with git diff or git format-patch. To update the repo (all changes must be committed first), do git svn rebase > But now I don't know how to start. There is neither a 'configure' > nor a 'autogen.sh'. the configure script does not belong to the source tree anymore, you have to regenerate it (for better, each time you rebase) cd trunk/main autoconf autoconf is available in cygwin, use the setup tool to install it. Once generated the configure script, proceed as usual. Regards -- Ariel Constenla-Haile La Plata, Argentina
