How to get?

[Chuck1411]

Hi,

I'm a little frustrated at getting a copy of Reactor. I've tried
getting via SVN as I posted before. I've tried getting a latest zip,
but they are not regular zips. They are bzip2's. I googled bzip2,
and downloaded a copy. bzip2 has no clue what to do with it, so
creates a generic .out version. (I used bzip2 -d reactor*). You
might include some directions on how to actually untar/unzip the
files. What programs to use, where to install, etc.

The liveDocs page, Downloading Reactor(http://
livedocs.reactorframework.com/Reactor_Documentation.htm) has bad links
for everything except for getting TortoiseSVN.

Everywhere on the Reactor Framework page that tells you where to go to
get a copy fails. Is there a windows .zip version available from
someplace? Or can someone email me a zip at the above email address?

WFM I am afraid. Maybe it's your client:

$ svn co http://svn.reactorframework.com/trunk
A trunk/hooks
A trunk/hooks/pre-revprop-change.tmpl
.
.

Bzip2 is supported by every modern 'zip' client I've ever seen.
Note that as the filename implies, the 'snapshot' files (I guess that
is what you are talking about) are tar'ed *and ziped*.
The correct decompress command would be:
$tar xjf reactor-trunk-snapshot-2009-11-19-r468.tar.bzip2
or double clicking in Ark, 7zip etc. etc.

The correct documentation is on the Wiki. I'm sorry you didn't find
your way their directly.

I can start building .zip as well as tar snapshot's if you continue to
have problems.
