[Pkg-silc-devel] SILC CVS: R.I.P.

[Pekka Riikonen]

Hello,

The SILC CVS tree is now history.  It is not used anymore for development 
and should be considered read only and containing only historical 
information.  The SILC development is now done in GIT repositories.  The 
SILC Server 1.1.1 release was the first SILC release done from the GIT 
repository.

SILC software and protocol related development repositories are at 
git.silcnet.org.  It also contains other non-SILC-protocol related 
repositories, like the SILC Runtime Toolkit and SILC Crypto Toolkit which 
now live their own lives, separate from the SILC development.

You can browse the repositories at:

   http://git.silcnet.org/gitweb/

Later today the SILC GIT repository will appear there and you can clone it 
by giving one of the following commands:

   git clone git://git.silcnet.org/silc
   git clone http://git.silcnet.org/silc.git

By default this will clone the entire history of SILC including all 
branches.  By default the repository points to the trunk (master) (SILC 
1.2) of the development.  To see available branches, give:

   git branch -a

To switch to for example SILC 1.1 branch, give:

   git checkout -b silc.1.1.branch origin/silc.1.1.branch

This will create a new local branch silc.1.1.branch and checkout the 
remote silc.1.1.branch into that local branch.  If you don't understand 
how the GIT branches work, please refer to the GIT manual.  If you are 
doing development I suggest you clone two different repositories if you do 
development both in trunk and in 1.1 branch.  Using only one repository 
for that may be difficult when switching between the branches.  This is 
because the trunk and 1.1 development are so far apart that they cannot be 
merged anymore.

To get updates, give:

   git pull

To see changes, give:

   git log

To see tags, give:

   git tag

To see graphical history, give:

   gitk

 	Pekka
