I can't seem to commit any changes, because I think Tortoise SVN is using a guest account to retrieve the data and I can't work out how to get it to use my account details instead (which I assume are the same as the email subscription details). I have the following in my Tortoise SVN servers file: [groups] group1 = *.mkgmap.org.uk [group1] # store-plaintext-passwords = no username = mike.b Can anyone help? Regards, Mike

Hi Mike, I think Steve has to permit that you can commit directly to trunk. I don't know if you are allowed to create a branch. If you don't mind, I suggest to use this procedure for now: 1) post a patch file and upload a binary to http://files.mkgmap.org.uk/ Let all users know what the patch does and wait for reports. If we see positive feedback, you may want to post a 2nd version to make sure that comments are okay, unit tests are passed, doc files contain the new feature etc. Finally one will commit your change. If we get the feeling that you know what to do Steve will probably give you write permits for trunk. OK? Gerd

Hi Mike
I can't seem to commit any changes, because I think Tortoise SVN is using a guest account to retrieve the data and I can't work out how to get it to use my account details instead (which I assume are the same as the email subscription details). I have the following in my Tortoise SVN servers file:
Anyone can create their own branches in subversion by following these steps: 1. Sign up on the web site. These will be your svn username and password too. 2. Go to http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/svn/repo/mkgmap (or the appropriate page for splitter etc). 3. Click the 'Create' button for 'Enable my own branch'. This does two things. First it creates a new branch, but it also enables your username for use. 4. The page should now show details of how to access the branch that was just created. In particular note that the URL differs from the read-only URLs by using https rather than http and there is an extra '/svn/' before mkgmap. It should look something like: https://svn.mkgmap.org.uk/svn/mkgmap/u/mike.b/main 5. Check out that URL and you should be good to go. I don't know exactly how TortoiseSVN works, I expect you would be prompted for username details on first commit. Checkout still doesn't require a password if I remember correctly. There is nothing special about that main branch, once you are set up you can create other branches under your user area. Of course since nobody has used this feature for a while and so it may not work. Let me know if there are any problems. ..Steve
