Version control for MultiWii

Post by fax8 »

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to follow the development of MultiWii as I'm starting working on some patches for it. Is there a public version controlled repository where code changes are published?

Of course, I do know about http://code.google.com/p/multiwii/sourc ... 253Dclosed but I was looking for a properly revisioned repository, where you can track code changes and stuff like that rather than a zip holder.

Thanks,

Fabio

Hi,
+1 for this.

It would be really nice to have properly versioned sources tree. The advantages are:
1) Easy to apply newest changes to your sandbox
2) Easy to monitor diffs and create patches
3) Easier to support branches (changes propagated almost automatically)
4) Possibility to easy sync changes from different developers
....
etc.

Regards,
ziss_dm

+1 ;)

I will set it up properly on the google code repository for the next dev.
ziss_dm, I can give you an access to this repository if you want. (I just need a google aware @mail)

done;)

now:
http://code.google.com/p/multiwii/sourc ... 2FMultiWii
http://code.google.com/p/multiwii/sourc ... ltiWiiConf

are synchronized with my dev repositories.

A simple SVN Tortoise commit will update files and manage the version control

Great !

Quick question: what's the interest of the elements inside "trunk/dev_version" ? (I've a slow connection and if you right now use a standard svn commit, we can access differents versions by the svn number)

Can you add a "Makefile" in the "trunk/MultiWii" for command line compilation/upload ?

Hi,

I maintain "trunk/dev_version", because not everyone has a coding knowledge.
The versions under this folder have a compiled GUI ready to launch.

I don't understand the need for a makefile, as everything goes via the arduino IDE or the processing IDE.
