Homework Assignment

Meet SVN

This class uses Subversion (SVN), a version-control system for multi-person projects. We do not need all of SVN's functionality, it just serves as a homework depository. To turn an assignment in, you will post ("up-load") a local copy of your work to SVN. The instructor will also post grading information, which you can retrieve periodically by updating your local copy. This assignment's purpose is to verify that the course repository is correctly initialized, and to illustrate the process of retrieving and posting a working copy of your homework area.

Instructions

The directions below assume you are working on a Linux host and that your user ID is astudent (SVN also supports PC and MAC platforms.)
  1. In your home directory, locate yourself at a point for doing your work in this course.
  2. Create a local copy of your SVN homework directory by typing the svn checkout command, as illustrated below. When prompted for your password, enter verify. (This will be changed later.)

Checked out revision 330.
    Your homework directory has been initialized with subdirectories 0, 1, 2,... for the results of individual homework assignments.

    Note: You do not need to check out your homework directory every time. The local copy you have just created may be re-used throughtout the remainder of this course. However, be advised that your portion of the P415 SVN repository is not subject to back-up using SVN. So you may wish to manually back up your working copy from time to time.

  3. Enter subdirectory 0, and edit the profile in plain text file working_copy/0/0.txt. For example,

Give a brief statement of your interests, general career goals, and what you
would like to get from taking this course:
   This course satisfies distributional requirements for my BS degree.  Also, I'm
   interested in programming language implementation and am curious about the
   issue of compiler correctness.

  4. Post your local copy of 0.txt to the SVN repository.
