Accessing the KF Repo

Anonymous Checkouts

1. Make sure you are familiar with subversion and you know what you are doing! Your subversion port needs the option 'neon' turned on.
2. Next is important! Do NOT skip this! Always ensure you have an up to date version of the official ports tree AND your installed ports are ALL upgraded and up to date!
3. First checkout a working copy of the area51 repository into a directory of your choice (from now on replace all mentioned '/path/to/area51' with the directory you have chosen, for example '/var/area51'):
   

   # svn co http://area51.pcbsd.org/trunk/area51 /path/to/area51
   

   (After this initial checkout you do not need to checkout again. You just need to update your existing working copy. See below.)
4. Edit kdemerge and set your path for 'KDEDIR=' and 'PORTSDIR='

   # /path/to/area51/Tools/scripts/kdemerge

5. Now you can copy the directory on top of '/usr/ports':
   

   # sh /path/to/area51/Tools/scripts/kdemerge
   

6. Use your ports tree as usual.
7. Always ensure you have an up to date working copy of the area51 repository:
   

   # svn up /path/to/area51
