SVN checkout

[James Faghmous]

As-salaam alaykum Zekr Dev-Team!
I just joined the Google group and I wanted to contribute to Zekr. I tried checking out the SVN reposetory but it was empty. Iused the following command:
svn co https://zekr.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/zekr zekr


I would prefer using SVN instead of CVS since I have eclipse ready to go with SVN, any help is appreciated.

Also, I had a question about the "ethics" of committing code. How does it work? When I make changes are there any procedures to follow? I'm sorry, but I never developped opensource before.
Thanks

James

Wa Alaikumassalam James,

We do not use SVN. We will migrate inshaAllah to SVN in future. Most of Eclipse packages have built-in CVS plugin so you may not have any problem connecting to CVS. Eclipse SVN plugins such as subversive are not yet part of official Eclipse packages (although they are quite mature and widely used). See instructions for manual check out.

We do not have yet an official procedure for accepting codes, since we have had very few committers. Current process is quite easy. You send me the first 'few' patches, and I will give you CVS commit access as soon as I see your first useful patches :). I appreciate if you also provide test cases for your patches.

Regards,

Mohsen

Wa alaykum as-salaam Mohsen,
Do you have a specific framework for test cases? Or just a .java test file?

Anther question Mohsen,
I finally checked out the code and it took me a while to setup SWT on my linux box. Now the code finally funs but I get this error right after the splash screen. Is there any other libraries I need to install/include? This error causes the app to load (the main UI) but the quran panel is empty and if I were to select another surah it would display the same error as below.
Thanks
