Sable Repository

The Sable repository is intended to be used for course and lab projects, papers, theses, meeting minutes, etc. The goal is to make exchanging code and documents easier while working in groups including research between professors and students. The data is also held in a central repository, making the data easier to backup. Please contact the system administrator if you'd like to add a directory to the repository.

• Sable subversion repository, https://svn.sable.mcgill.ca/sable

Soot Repository

The original Soot repository will remain for everything that pertains to the Soot project. All new projects will be entered into the Sable repository.

• Soot repository via ViewCVS (read-only).
• Soot subversion server, https://svn.sable.mcgill.ca/soot
  (Writable, uses secure sockets to protect passwords. We are using subversion 1.0.4 clients; earlier clients may also work, but it would be prudent to update.)

Be warned that if you point svn to the read-only URL to check out files, and subsequently attempt to commit changes back to the writable URL, the commit will fail with 403 Forbidden errors. For write access, you need to check out from the https: URL as well as check in to it.

Commits mailing list

The soot-repos-commits mailing list receives notices of changes committed to the Soot repository.

To subscribe to the list, send an e-mail to soot-repos-commits-subscribe@sable.mcgill.ca with

subscribe soot-repos-commits

To subsequently unsubscribe from the list, send an e-mail to soot-repos-commits-unsubscribe@sable.mcgill.ca with

unsubscribe soot-repos-commits

Web-based Repository Browsing

Bugs

Server Certificate

Our subversion server uses a self-signed SSL certificate. Recent releases of svn will warn you about the certificate the first time you connect and give you the opportunity to accept the certificate permanently.

If your subversion client continues to warn you about the self-signed certificate on every connection, you may be able to quiet it by downloading a copy of our public certificate and adding lines similar to these to your .subversion/servers:

[groups]
sable = svn.sable.mcgill.ca

[sable]
ssl-authorities-file = /path/to/certificate/file
