Work in Progress!!



RabbitVCS is an Open Source SVN client for Linux. RabbitVCS is intended for the GNOME desktop enviroment because it integrates it's self into Nautilus. This runs and looks a lot like the Windows SVN program, TortoiseSVN.

Work in Progress!!

History

Download and Install

If you are interested in trying RabbitVCS, you can download it [here]. The people over at RabbitVCS have been nice and released packets for the main linux flavours that use GNOME.

1. Fedora

2. Ubuntu

3. Debian

4. Gentoo

5. ArchLinux

That said, you can also download the tarball, and compile the source yourself.

Installing from the source

1. Download the tar archive from [here]

2. Uncompress the archive

# tar -xzvf <filename>

3. Move into that directory

# cd <RabbitCVS dir>

4. Configure

# ./configure

5. make

# make

6. make install

# make install

If you receive an error during compile, read it and do what it tells you it wants done. In most cases, you might not have all of the required packets installed on you system, in which case the error would inform you that you are missing packets, and need to install them before continuing.

Using
