I tried using it on 0.40 (which seems to be themonotne I'm using on Debian lenny) in order to obtain a more up-to-date repository, and it didn't work. Could it be that the wiki is still out of date even though you've checked in an update? Of course I'll be downloading the 0.99 executable to get things working instead of sticking stubbornly with lenny's 0.40, but I thought I should report this. On http://wiki.monotone.ca/SelfHostingInfo/ it says: $ # Command for monotone <=0.48 $ mtn --db=mtn.db clone mtn://monotone.ca/monotone "?net.venge.monotone*" \ -b net.venge.monotone monotone but when I try this I get: hend...@april:~/dv/mtn$ mtn --db=mtn.db clone mtn://monotone.ca/monotone "?net.venge.monotone*" -b net.venge.monotone monotone Usage: mtn [OPTION...] command [ARG...] --confdir set location of configuration directory --db [ -d ]set name of database --debug print debug log to stderr while running --dump file to dump debugging log to, on failure --help [ -h ] display help message --ignore-suspend-certs do not ignore revisions marked as suspended --key [ -k ] set key for signatures --keydir set location of key store --log file to write the log to --no-default-confdirforbid use of the default confdir --norc do not load ~/.monotone/monotonerc or _MTN/monotonerc lua files --nostd do not load standard lua hooks --quiet suppress verbose, informational and progress messages --rcfile load extra rc file --reallyquiet suppress warning, verbose, informational and progress messages --root limit search for workspace to specified root --ssh-sign controls use of ssh-agent. valid arguments are: 'yes' to use ssh-agent to make signatures if possible, 'no' to force use of monotone's internal code, 'only' to force use of ssh-agent, 'check' to sign with both and compare --ticker set ticker style (count|dot|none) --version print version number, then exit --xargs [ -@ ] insert command line arguments taken from the given file Options specific to 'mtn clone': --branch [ -b ] select branch cert for operation --revision [ -r ] select revision id for operation Syntax specific to 'mtn clone': clone ADDRESS[:PORTNUMBER] [DIRECTORY] Description for 'mtn clone': Checks out a revision from a remote database into a directory.

Changes - 'mtn clone' now takes a branch argument rather than a branch option which is more what people expect given the fact that mtn push/pull/sync do not use a branch option either. Could someone please add the relevant information for monotone <= 0.40 in SelfHostingInfo? For that matter, there should also be an entry for monotone <= 0.33, since the "clone" command appeared in 0.34. And perhaps a note to the effect that monotone < 0.26 is no longer supported due to netsync compatibility being broken in 0.26. People do not necessarily use the latest and greatest version of anything, for various reasons. One possible reason is that Debian stable releases are supported for one year after the next stable release becomes available; this means the Debian 5.0 "Lenny" will be supported *at least* until November 2011 (in the unlikely event that Debian 6.0 "Squeeze" is released this month). There are other "long-term-support" distributions out there; Red Hat Enterprise Linux for example has a 7-year support policy (!). -- Ludovic Brenta. ___ Monotone-devel mailing list Monotone-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel

[Monotone-devel] compiling on lennty from downloaded tarball
Well, I downloaded the tarball, untarred it, and ./configure failed. It turned out that when I installed to list of packages specified for Debian and Ubunto there was no libbotan-dev. Instead, though there were libbotan1.6-dev and a libbotan1.7-dev. I used libbotan1.2-dev. Everything compiled cleanly on a relatively up-to-date AMD64 Debian lenny. Then mtn passed the tests done by make check. So everything appears to be good on this platform, except for the package name in the INSTALL file. -- hendrik ___ Monotone-devel mailing list Monotone-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel
