Install RabbitVCS in Ubuntu

The RabbitVCS is a set of graphical tools written to provide simple and straightforward access to the version control system(VCS). This is similar to Tortoise SVN for Windows.

It provide multiple clients and extensions to give you a uniform experience no matter what development tools you use. It provide all Subversion client functionality without touching the command line so it is very useful for developers who are not familiar with Linux commands and newbies to Linux.

It also provide an easy to use command line tool in this package.

To install RabbitVCS in Ubuntu, first we need to add the PPA

Karmic and later

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rabbitvcs/ppa 

Hardy, Intrepid and Jaunty

Add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list file (signing key = 1024R/34EF4A35)

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/rabbitvcs/ppa/ubuntu **DISTRIBUTION** main

Update your software package repositories with:

sudo apt-get update

Install :

sudo apt-get install rabbitvcs-core rabbitvcs-nautilus rabbitvcs-thunar rabbitvcs-gedit rabbitvcs-cli

From Tarball

Installing from our distributed tarball is relatively straightforward on Ubuntu. First, make sure you install all dependencies:

sudo apt-get install python-nautilus python-configobj python-gtk2 python-glade2 python-svn python-dbus python-dulwich subversion meld

Then download the tarball and from the top folder type:

sudo python setup.py install

Once that is done working, look in the clients folder and read the README file for each client/plugin to learn how they are installed.
