It goes without saying that this book exists to be a source of information and assistance for Subversion users new and old. Conveniently, though, the Subversion command-line is self-documenting, alleviating the need to grab a book off the shelf (wooden, virtual, or otherwise). The svn help command is your gateway to that built-in documentation:

$ svn help

Before you start using svn you have to start svn shell (or provide keys to ssh client in diferent way)

 svnshell 

You should see modified prompt :

 [SVN] promt$ 

To get local copy of repository :

 svn checkout svn+ssh://[email protected]/REPOSITORY_NAME 

or optionaly

 svn checkout svn+ssh://[email protected]/REPOSITORY_NAME/trunk REPOSITORY_NAME 

To download most recent version form repository use:

 svn update

To commit (send to server) yours changes use:

 svn commit 

You may also add specific resource to be added:

 svn commit dir/filename 

In addition you may provide commit comment from command line using -m option:

 svn commit -m "comment to my commit"

To add new resource (file / directory) use:

 svn add file 

NOTE: Be careful, adding directory means adding directory itself and all files inside it.

To add only directory without files inside you need to:

 svn add -N dirname 

To remove resource (file / directory) use:

 svn del file 

In order to simplify process of adding new resources created during work with Cadence an helper script smartsvn.py was prepared. The main aim of this script is to scan over directory tree and look for new cells / views to be added to repository. To run script use:

 smartsvn.py 

Access to repository is granted based on public/private-key authorization mechanism. You need to generate ssh key pair:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -f ~/.ssh/svn

Send generated key to SVN Administrator.

In file ~/.bashrc you have to specify editor wich will be used to edit commit description:

 export SVN_EDITOR=gedit 

You have to add scripts directory to You PATH:

 export PATH=~/AMS400/EUDET_V/scripts:$PATH

1. going into repository directory

   cd ~AMS400/EUDET_V

2. getting latest version

   svn update

3. work very hard
4. work ending
   • getting latest version (someone may changed something while you were working on Yours local copy of data)

     svn update

   • if there are were any changes You should check if Your work is compatible with changes commited by someone
   • if You created any new files (cells, schematics, layouts, …) You should add them to repository

     svn_helper.py add [dir/file]

   • at the end You have to send changes to repository

     svn commit

     You should put (not to long, but having sense) comment

• this script was written to help with adding new files to repository
• it is placed at : scripts/svn_helper.py
• there are two configuration files :
  • scripts/files.cnf - tells which files should be added
  • scripts/dirs.cnf - tells which directories should be added
• typical output :

kulis@lumifun:~/EUDET_V$ svn_helper.py add
Creating /home/kulis/EUDET_V/scripts/logs/svn_helper_2010_05_10_14_21_50.sl
scripts/known_type.py                                                           [file] [PY ] [+]
scripts/unknow_type.123                                                         [file] [!!!] [-]
scripts/logs/svn_helper_2010_05_10_14_21_50.sl                                  [file] [SL ] [-]
Unmached files:
  scripts/unknow_type.123

• meaning of columns in [] :
  1. file system node type (file or directory)
  2. identified object type (schematic, layout, script) (if colour is green it means that object was identified, if colour is red and string is “!!!” it means that type is unknown and proper pattern should be added to files/dirs.cnf)
  3. will object be added to repository (+ yes, - no)
• If there are unknown types of files script will not allow to proceed

• if You rename cell A to cell B under CADANCE, you have to :
  1. svn update
  2. svn del A
  3. svn_helper.py del_svn_info B
  4. svn_helper.py add B
