SVN Crossfire Repository

On 2006-Sept-19, Crossfire migrated from CVS to SVN - which was chosen due to desired key features that were voted upon via the mailing list and the wiki.

SVN Information

General Commands:

To download the entire Crossfire project (~7.5Gb as of 2012-April-03):

  • svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/crossfire/code

The general commands to check out (download) an individual module (archetypes, client, maps, server, map editor, et al) & all versions (branches, tags and trunk) is the following:

  • Archetypes (at 1.2Gb)
    • svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/crossfire/code/arch
  • Client (at 120M)
    • svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/crossfire/code/client
  • JX Client (at 196M)
    • svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/crossfire/code/jxclient
  • Maps (at 3.7G)
    • svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/crossfire/code/maps
  • Server (at 337M)
    • svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/crossfire/code/server
  • Gridarta Map Editor (at 73M)
    • svn co https://gridarta.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gridarta

Note: More information is available in regards to Gridarta SVN repository and development status.

Branches, Tags & Trunk Information:

You will also notice that there are directories labeled as branches, trunk and tags.

  • The branches directory was for 1.x development, which is now been replaced by trunk with the 1.50.0 release
    • IMPORTANT:
    • Support and development on version 1.12 and earlier has been discontinued as of the 1.50.release
    • Only versions 1.12.0 of the client, or SVN revision 12303 of the client, is compatible with 1.12.0 and earlier servers
  • The trunk directory is the latest development changes going only into 2.0 when it is released
  • The tags directory are official releases of Crossfire

Unless doing development it is recommended to use the 1.70.0 tag until 2.0 is released. It is *NOT* recommended to run or use version 1.50.0 and earlier.

Notice: It is highly recommend that you use a trunk map set with a trunk server and a tags map set with a tags server as incompatible changes may occur. Meaning a map in trunk may only work with the trunk server and vice versa.

Branch, Tags & Trunk Commands:

The commands to check out a specific directory is the following:

Note: The commands, below, presume you are in the directory where the archetypes, client, maps or server currently reside.

  • Tags:
    • Archetypes (at 164M)
      • svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/crossfire/code/arch/tags/1.70.0
    • Client (at 14M)
      • svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/crossfire/code/client/tags/1.70.0
    • Maps (at 441M)
      • svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/crossfire/code/maps/tags/1.70.0
    • Server (at 47M)
      • svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/crossfire/code/server/tags/1.70.0
  • Trunk:
    • Archetypes (at 164M)
      • svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/crossfire/code/arch/trunk
    • Client (at 14M)
      • svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/crossfire/code/client/trunk
    • Maps (at 442M)
      • svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/crossfire/code/maps/trunk
    • Server (at 47M)
      • svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/crossfire/code/server/trunk

It is also possible to checkout files from SVN and have them install to a remote directory. This is accomplished by adding the file path to the end of the SVN command.

For instance:

svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/crossfire/code/maps/tags/1.70.0 /path/to/map/directory/

Or, more specifically:

svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/crossfire/code/maps/1.70.0 /share/crossfire/maps/

This would check out the latest changes to maps 1.70.0 tag and place them in the /share/crossfire/maps/ directory.
