Subversion Read-Only Access

Anyone can track Zope changes with a read-only checkout of the sources - here are instructions for hooking it up.

There are several top-level modules in the repository - chief among them is the Zope sources - we'll use them for our example. You can browse them all at http://svn.zope.org/

Read-only access has been changed to http access recently (2009). Here's how you can do your initial checkout:

    % svn co http://svn.zope.org/repos/main/Zope/trunk Zope

This should issue lots of check out messages, creating a directory named Zope, with the entire distribution inside it. The initial checkout creates a copy of the source files together with some Subversion bookkeeping, in directories all named .svn.

Once you've done these initial steps, you can stay current by cd'ing into any of the created Zope subdirectories and typing:

    % svn up

If you have any questions, please send them to the [email protected].
