What is a SVN? Edit

SVN stands for Subversion, an advanced versioning system.

It stores all contents of the OpenArena project, so all textures, sounds etc.

The basic idea is if somebody wants to download a development version of a software, what is rapidly changing, only the edited parts of the software is in need for re-downloading after a full download. SVN as a technology does simply that. So, if a new version (even subversion) is out, you only need to update the SVN and not download the whole thing again.

How can I install OA through SVN?Edit

Under LinuxEdit

You can install it with an SVN gui, or with a terminal: svn co http://openarena.ws/svn/ OpenArena

And you can update it with the used SVN gui or with a terminal command, in the home dir: svn up OpenArena

Under WindowsEdit

How is the OA svn structured?Edit

The structure of the OpenArena SVN structure is pretty simple and logical. It has a tree-like hierarchy so the 'maps' folder contains the map files, the 'levelshots' contains a screenshot of each level etc.
