Source Code Management for OpenSolaris

Supported Source Code Management (SCM) Systems

The opensolaris.org website supports two SCM solutions:

• Mercurial (hg) is the default. It was chosen for a distributed SCM (DSCM) solution and is recommended for projects/consolidations currently using a distributed development model and/or TeamWare.
• Subversion (SVN) is provided for exceptions. It was chosen for a centralized solution for individual projects and consolidations that have a requirement to use SVN or centralized source code management.

Available Documentation

Getting Started/Help

In addition to the Subversion and Mercurial websites, instructions about use with OpenSolaris are available:

• OpenSolaris SVN help page
• OpenSolaris Mercurial help page

Transitioning from TeamWare to Mercurial

Transition information is available for people transitioning from TeamWare to Mercurial.

Development Information

Getting Started

A good way to get started is to pull a copy of an existing gate, such as JDS (Subversion) or the beta-test ON repository (Mercurial).

Binaries and Source Available

Mercurial and Subversion binaries are available in Solaris Express. Sources are available from the SFW consolidation.

Tools

Some consolidations and projects have developer and/or gatekeeper tools that have knowledge of the underlying SCM system.

The SCM Migration Project is working to make these tools work with Mercurial and SVN. It is also looking at additional tools that might be helpful to teams moving to Mercurial. If you'd like to help (development, testing, documentation), check the project's web page for more information.

Historical Information

Following are pointers to historical information about selecting and implementing SCM solutions.

• See the OpenSolaris SCM Project History page for information about the process utilized to evaluate and choose SCM solutions for the site.
• See the requirements document for detail about OpenSolaris development requirements.
  
• See the specifications about this work for implementation information:
  • SCM implementation specification
  • SCM console specification
