Subversion/SVK/Fink under Mac OS X

[Craig Heilman <cr...@bugsoft.com>]

First of all thanks to all who responded to my previous message "Mac 
OS X - best setup for small developer?" - lots of good suggestions 
there.

I'd like to go the svk route to mirror my subversion repositories 
from my desktop to my laptop and I'd like to use Fink (via 
FinkCommander) to keep subversion and svk up to date (this after 
seeing a Fink demo). Fink does know about subversion 1.1.3-11 
(reasonably current) but the latest build of svk available via Fink 
is 0.18-1 (it appears the current version is 0.30).  There is a 
standalone Mac OS X installer for svk 0.30 (which includes subversion 
1.1.3) but if I use that, it will be installed outside the standard 
Fink location (Fink puts everything in it's own /sw directory at the 
top level of the disk).

Also a note that BBEdit 8.1 (my preferred code editor) was just 
released and it includes subversion support!

Suggestions?

Thanks,

Craig

I am the maintainer of the svn and svk packages for fink. You can find 
the latest version of these tools here:
<http://fink.sourceforge.net/pdb/package.php/svn-client-ssl>
<http://fink.sourceforge.net/pdb/package.php/svk>
(Be sure to use the -ssl variant to get https support.)

So, as you can see, svn is at the latest released version. I update the 
fink package to 1.1.4 soon after it is released.
Svk is at version 0.27. I will update it to version 0.991 (1.0beta1) in 
the next couple of days.

As svk is only in the unstable tree yet, you need to enable it. You can 
find instructions here:
<http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-fink.php?phpLang=en#unstable>

I would like to move svk to the stable tree as soon as it hits version 
1.0. Therefore I am very much looking for your feedback!

Which is great! I just installed it and it seems to work reasonable 
well. If you want to use the fink installed svn client together with 
BBEdit 8.1 you need to run the following command from the terminal:

defaults write com.barebones.bbedit 
Subversion:SubversionToolPathOverride /sw/bin/svn

Hope this helps,
Chris.
