Quick Start

This is a very terse introduction to using SVA. For more information, please take a look at the documentation page.

Install SVN Dependencies

• Subversion (svn and svnadmin) (http://subversion.tigris.org/)
• Ruby (http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/)
• RubyGems (http://docs.rubygems.org/)

Downloading and Installing SVA

SVA is distributed as a RubyGem. You can install it using the gem command:

 > gem install svnauto --include-dependencies

Other download options can be found at: http://rubyforge.org/projects/svnauto/

Getting SVA from Its Subversion Repository

 > svn co http://pmade.com/svn/oss/sc/trunk sc-trunk

Configure Your Repositories

Start by telling SVA about the repositories you use:

 > sva config --add

You can also use this method to create a new local repository. When prompted for a repository URL, give a path to a nonexistent directory.

Other Things You Can Do

• Create a Project
• Make a Release Branch
• Fix a Bug on a Release Branch

See the documentation page for a complete feature list.
