[edit] Getting the development version of PAR

It's quite easy to get a copy of the PAR development version. In order to be able to contribute to the PAR development, you need to get commit rights, though. For example, you could ask Audrey or Steffen or the PAR mailing list about this.

[edit] Prerequisites

• Install a Subversion client such as SVK or SVN. This can be as easy as installing a debian package. There should be binary packages of SVK (which is the recommended client) for virtually all operating systems.

[edit] Checkout

• Once you have svk, create a new directory, say par-devel and cd to par-devel.
• Type

 svk checkout http://svn.openfoundry.org/par/trunk

• Now you have a fresh checkout of the development version of PAR in the par subdirectory of your current directory.
• By using the following command instead, you can also checkout the other modules hosted in the PAR Subversion repository (such as Module::ScanDeps):

 svk checkout http://svn.openfoundry.org/par

[edit] Update

• Once you have a copy of the development version and you wonder whether a new version has become availlable, you can update your copy by doing the following in your par-devel/par:

 svk pull trunk

[edit] Differences

• Wonder whether there have been any changes since you last updated your local copy?

 svk diff trunk
