Making an SVN

[TomTuff]

I've decided I want to use SVNs for my script, because I simply update them too often for people to think to check back. However, google code (code.google.com) seemed very intimidating, and googling "How to make an SVN" didn't help much either.

A quick for-dummies rundown on this would be awesome :D

I know I've seen a tutorial on this subject before, infact somewhere in this site if I can recall. Let me do some digging around as I'd also like to know this.

if your looking for a hosting place, i am using xp-dev.com they give you 200mb of space for free :)

its easy to set up the site will take you through it all

Well I don't think finding a host will be so much of a problem as setting up a script to automatically detect if it has been changed or updated through an online SVN containing the script.

code.google.com would be the easiest place to set up an SVN :)
It's done in 1-2-3, and even a 10 years old could do it

You can easily make an updater in your script.
Just have the latest script in a folder on your server.
Making the contents in the folder what you want them to download.
Then have a text document on your server that has a version number.
Then function:

if ScriptVersion = ServerVersion then
Exit
else begin
Client := InitializeHTTPClient(False, False);
UpdatedScript := GetHTTPPage(Client,'http://mserver.com/folder/UpdatedScript.txt');


Then create a new file and write it.
Let me know if you need help with this ^ :)

-Boom

Google code is by far the easiest SVN. Use tortoisesvn (http://tortoisesvn.net/) if your not comfortable using cmd.

You should really use git over svn though.

Git as a version control system I don't think is much better. But github vs google code, theres not comparison, github is epic.

git > svn:

Branches
Tags
Merging
Speed (Everything offline)
Distributed
Network Usage (Everything offline)
"git-blame"
"git-shortlog"
(...)


svn > git:

Checking out a subdirectory of a repository instead of the entire repository.


You tell me...
