Question
How can I get a working copy of the Alpha sources ?
Answer
The source code for Alpha is hosted by SourceForge in a Subversion
directory. Only one simple command has to be executed from a Terminal
window in order to check out a complete working copy.
If you are interested only in the current sources, you should
first create a folder called Alpha on your machine. Then open
a Terminal window, change directory to the Alpha folder and
execute the following command:
svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/alphacocoa/code/Current Current
The previous command has to be executed only the first time you get the
working copy. Later, when you want to retrieve the recent changes
introduced in the repository, you just have to update your working copy
with the following command:
svn update
There is more than the current sources stored in the Subversion
repository. It also contains tagged versions, branches etc. You should not
generally be concerned by the complete repository but if you are, here the
command which will retrieve everything:
svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/alphacocoa/code/ Alpha
