2. Subversion repository
------------------------
  
You can browse it only at:

http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-kde/kde-extras/

To "checkout" the repository use these commands:

	$ svn co svn+ssh://${ALIOTH_USERNAME}@svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-kde/kde-extras

Authorized SSH keys are controlled at https://alioth.debian.org/account/

The repository layout is:

- packagename/
<EFBFBD> <20> - trunk/
<EFBFBD> <20> - branches/
<EFBFBD> <20> - tags/
<EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD>- 0.7.2-1/
<EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD>- 0.7.2-2/
<EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD>- 0.7.2-2ubuntu1/
<EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD>- 0.7.2-2ubuntu2/
<EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD>- 0.7.2-2ubuntu3/
<EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD>- 0.8.0/
<EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD>...

If only one version of the package is available at the time, development must 
be made at trunk/ dir, copying the dir to tags/'pkg-version' each time a new 
release is made.

When, at some point, the need to have two different versions at the same time 
arises (for example, if we need a version to be in unstable and a different one
to be in experimental), experimental development will be made in trunk/ and 
if a new unstable package needs to be cooked, copying 
tag/'latest_version_in_sid' to tag/'latest_version_in_sid'+1 will make the
trick.

3. Using svn-buildpackage
--------------------------

Packages with an upstream tarball will require you to set the mergeWithUpstream
property first (from the package root) so that svn-buildpackage will look for
the .orig.tar.gz in the ../tarballs directory.
	
	% svn propset mergeWithUpstream 1 debian

Please note that this only works for packages which have only the debian/
directory committed. Consequently, you must use CDBS's simple-patchsys.mk or
dpatch to modify the upstream sources.

After you have finished and committed your Debian patches via
	
	% svn commit [PACKAGE]

as well as copying the orig.tar.gz to ../tarballs/ if necessary, you may build
your package with the following commands:

	% svn-buildpackage --svn-ignore-new -rfakeroot

Please, don't commit tarballs/ or build-area/ directories to SVN.

4. Tarballs and Build-area directories
------------------------------------

During pkg development before uploaded to debian the tarballs can be found at:

	http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/kde-extra/orig.tar.gz/

You need to place those dirs in the parent directory of the one from which you're 
running svn-buildpackage. Usually this means placing tarballs/ and build-area/ dirs 
in 'pkgname'/ dir, at the same level as trunk/

If you want to compile inside one version in tags/ dir, you'll need to place those
dirs inside that dir. Of course the easiest and cleanest way of doing it is 
by making a symlink of those dirs inside tags/ dir.

5. Using svn-inject
-------------------

To inject a new package into the Debian KDE Extras svn archive you should use svn-inject(1)
as follows:

        svn-inject -o <package>.dsc svn+ssh://${ALIOTH_USERNAME}@svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-kde/kde-extras

Type in your alioth password a few hundred times :-) and your package should be
uploaded to the archive.  Note you will also need to manually copy the
package.orig.tar.gz to your tarballs directory.  The -o option is important as
this ensures that we 'Only keep modified files under SVN control'
