Settuping up Subversion

[chickendude]

Can someone give me a quick run-down on how to get SVN working/running? I'd like to use it as a nice way to program back and forth between window$ and Ubuntu and have another backup of my code somewhere.

You have svn installed I guess (otherwise on ubuntu: apt-get install svn).

The KDE programs on ubuntu: apt-get install kdesvn kompare
or there is http://rapidsvn.tigris.org/ (never tried that one though)
or the command line svn
or Eclipse built in svn client

Yeah, i've got svn installed, but i'm not really sure how to set up a "space" to actually use it, how to download/upload files to that space, etc.

Update: Ok, so i'm not sure if Launchpad is actually intended for this or not, but i've got Monopoly uploaded (using bazaar).
https://launchpad.net/z80monopoly
I'm new to all this, so i'm not quite sure what the standards and stuff are. Right now i'm looking for a nice way to integrate bazaar into Ubuntu, and it seems like there's a package to integrate it into nautilus, so we'll see.

Cool you have bug reporting there and everything!

But I'm not sure if bazaar is the thing you want to use over svn. Or what about github? Tutorials are here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2634130

I dunno, it seems to work more or less the same way. I've already done a couple "revisions", just deleting files (like monopoly.lab, monopoly.bin) which didn't really need to be there. I was thinking about github, i just wanted something that wasn't google (google code) or micro$oft (codeplex). To me, it doesn't really matter as long as i can host my code somewhere online, though for a small z80 project like this it might be a little overkill.

Do you have experience using SVN/Git/bazaar/etc.? What do you use/recommend? I see GitHub is free for open source projects...

I used svn for a while when I was programming C# more heavily. That was Windows7 + VS2010 + TurtoiseSVN, which worked very well.

If I did open source and online repo, I would try github. The Linux kernel is on there, too!

Awesome, i'll check it out, thanks!
