What's that all about?

The idea is very old and popular in software development: have somebody keep track of changes you make to a product and hence remain able to go back in history...

The idea behind our set up is to allow for anonymous public access of specific products (parts) which are simultaneously changed/updated/further developed. So keep in mind that the initial set-up gives the whole world reading access to your project. If you want to share only parts of it, additional steps must be taken. Those are described at the very end of this page.

Existing Geodesy-Lab projects and anonymous access

Anonymous access is read-only. Currently any existing project can be retrieved using:

svn checkout svn://svn.gps.alaska.edu/<PROJECT-NAME>

Pre-requisites

- unix account at geodesy lab
- member of group 'svn'
- local installation of a subversion client (comes with most linux dists, check http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ for a (graphical) windows client)
