SubVersion is the current version control repository used to maintain the odamex source code. Access is restricted based on our Policy.

Tested clients

• svn
• tortoisesvn for Windows

Directory structure

Each branch keeps an entire odamex source tree.

• root
  • trunk - bleeding edge development, may not always work
  • branches
    • stable - synchronised with trunk when features mature
    • ogl_hack - a half-hearted attempt at accelerating the renderer
    • other temporary branches may be created or destoryed
  • tags

Change notification

Any changes to our svn repository are reported in:

• The Odamex Changelog
• The Odamex IRC Channel

Guidelines

• Do
  • Regularly update your working copy
  • Commit individual improvements and corrections to the existing code
  • Separate your commits semantically
  • Make an informative comment with each commit
  • Mention related bugs and revisions (see changelog for format)
  • Seek comments on bugzilla and forum before making major changes
  • Test your changes before every commit
• Do not
  • Commit broken code to trunk or stable
  • Commit untested code to stable
  • Make giant monolithic commits
  • Make major changes without consulting maintainers
  • Make frivolous commits
  • Overwrite other people's recent work without asking them
