[MetaPRL] New repository access instructions (MetaPRL repository have been migrated to subversion)

[Aleksey Nogin]

Dear MetaPRL users,

The MetaPRL source code repository have been migrated from CVS server on 
cvs.metaprl.org to a new Subversion server on svn.metaprl.org

Below are the instructions on checking out a new working copy from the 
new repository. They assume you have a relatively recent version of the 
"subversion" program installed on your system. If you do not have it 
yet, you can download it from http://subversion.tigris.org/

*** Read-only anonymous access ***

Run

svn co svn://svn.metaprl.org/mojave/metaprl

or

svn co http://svn.metaprl.org/svnroot/mojave/metaprl

(The two commands use different communication protocols; the first 
method may be a bit faster. If you are behind a restrictive firewall, it 
may be possible that only one method would work for you).

*** Read-write access ***

1) Make sure your ~/.ssh/config file contains the following

Host svn.metaprl.org
    ForwardAgent no
    ForwardX11 no
    User svn

(note - if you have a Caltech CS account, you might want to specify your 
own user name instead of "svn").

Also take a look at the "metaprl-cvs" section of your ~/.ssh/config 
file. If that contains any "IdentityFile" and/or "Protocol" directives, 
you might need to copy them to the svn.metaprl.org section (but only do 
that if things fail to work without it).

2) Now run

svn co svn+ssh://svn.metaprl.org/svnroot/mojave/metaprl

*** Existing working copies ***

As far as I know, there is no easy way to convert a working copy that 
you have checked out using CVS. It may be easier to simply delete the 
old one and check out a fresh copy.
