Subversion for the OpenMath Website

The OpenMath website, including its CDs, is built from files in a Subversion repository. The repository is publicly readable but need credentials to commit.

http://svn.openmath.org/OpenMath/

... is the URL of that repository. This URL can be used by normal web-browsers to see the current state of trunk.

Subversion is a widespread versioning system which has multiple implementations from desktop integrated ones (SCplugin, TortoiseSVN) till application based (RapidSVN, Versions.app); it is also common in development environments. Users can checkout a copy, perform local changes, publish their changes, update their copies.

Write access is gained by submitting credentials to paul@activemath.org in the form of an htpasswd output: htpasswd -n <username>

Note that the password is sent in clear text unless you use a different URL: http://subversion.dfki.de/OpenMath.

The website is built by an ant file, explained in the website-build triggered latest one hour after a commit. This build is run with a "normal ant" with the addition of the saxon jar so that XSLT 2 and/or Saxon extensions can run. Those who wish to adjust the website are encouraged to checkout only the "non-mass" part of it, since the "mass" part of it is made of many static resources such as slide' copies. The non-mass part is in the directory www.
