Software¶

There is lots of information in http://afs.rnd.ru.is/project/htgaru/trunk/how-to-get-around-projects.pdf
chapter 8 and 9. It is highly recommended that you read that section of the document first.

Version Control through Subversion¶

The URL for your Subversion repository is based upon your project's URL
If it looks like "https://projects.cs.ru.is/projects/mechatronics"
then the SVN URL is "https://repository.cs.ru.is/svn/mechatronics"
Notice that projects has become repository, then later svn in the URL.
