Fusion Developers Corner

This is the spot for a lot of developer-related information.

Committers

Committers are people with valid OSGeo User IDs that have permission to commit changes to the SVN repository. Any existing committer can visit this page to add or remove committers. You will need the OSGeo User ID to add users. The reference for this is here.

A list of Fusion Committers is available here.

Patches

Patches are text files that contain the difference between a locally checked out version of fusion and the version in the SVN repository. See CreatingPatches for instructions on how to create a patch and ApplyingPatches for applying a patch to your local working version.

SVN

The Fusion code base is stored in an SVN repository hosted at OSGeo. You can view the source in your web browser directly or use the built in trac browser for a more enjoyable experience.

The Fusion SVN repository is organized into several main folders.

Using SVN

To check out a copy of trunk, a branch, a tagged version, or a sandbox, you need to know the URL and use svn checkout <url>. For instance:

  • svn co http://svn.osgeo.org/fusion/trunk - check out trunk
  • svn co http://svn.osgeo.org/fusion/branches/fusion-1.0 - check out the branch for version 1.0
  • svn co http://svn.osgeo.org/fusion/tags/fusion-1.0.0 - check out the 1.0.0 released version
  • svn co http://svn.osgeo.org/fusion/sandbox/pagameba - check out pagameba's sandbox

Once you have a checked out copy, this is called a working copy. To update a working copy to the latest version, you use the update command with no arguments:

  • svn update

To move the working copy to a specific revision number, you can add the revision parameter:

  • svn update -r <revision>

To see if you have changes in your working copy against the current revision:

  • svn status

To see the differences between your working copy and the current revision:

  • svn diff
  • svn diff > diff.patch redirects the output to a file that is suitable for using with the patch command
