Re: svn 1.2 book available!

[Joey Mukherjee <jo...@swri.edu>]

Ok, based on the advice below, I was able to build the book with little 
to no trouble.  The java I had installed (kaffe) didn't work so I used 
the jdk1.3.  The only thing I would recommend is a command to actually 
fetch the book written on the website or in the README file.  I 
eventually realized I had to do a svn co 
https://svn.red-bean.com/svnbook .

If anyone else is interested in a PDF version of the SVN v1.2 book 
based on revision 1491, you can get it from:

http://cluster.space.swri.edu/~joey/svn-book.pdf.gz

Enjoy!
