Here is how to configure and run programs that use subversion, mainly to update FreeBSD source files.

Contents

svnup

Unfortunately, subversion control doesn't come with the base system, but there is a convenient, dependency-less port called net/svnup .

# pkg install svnup

or

# /usr/ports/net/svnup/make install clean
# man svnup

svnup.conf

The configuration file for svnup.conf is at /usr/local/etc/svnup.conf, and these set options can be overrode on the command line. Here is an example of the configuration file:

# $FreeBSD$
#
# Default configuration options for svnup.conf.
#
[defaults]
work_directory=/var/tmp/svnup
#host=svn.freebsd.org
#host=svn0.us-west.freebsd.org
#host=svn0.us-east.freebsd.org
#host=svn0.eu.freebsd.org
protocol=https
verbosity=1
trim_tree=0
extra_files=0
#repository_base=
#
[release]
branch=base/releng/10.1
target=/usr/src
#
[ports]
branch=ports/head
target=/usr/ports

This looks simple enough, remove the # [comment out] sign next to the server you wish to use, and adjust other options. For more information type:

# man svnup.conf

Updating

To update via svnup, use the svnup command with the tag in parenthesis described in the conf file:

# svnup release

or

# svnup ports
