Working with SVN repositories from your test release

Quite often when you create your test release you may want to get some package (like psana_examples, etc.) from the SVN repository and modify it ti suit your needs, extend, etc. Normally you would do so by using the 'addpkg' command from your test release directory. The very same operation is also available from the VM. The only caveat is to obtain a Kerberos ticket in the SLAC.STANFORD.EDU realm. Your machine has already been configured to pretend it's a part of the SLAC network (even thought this is n't quite true). Hence, all you would need to do is to get the ticket first using your real UNIX account/password at SLAC. Here is sample session (replace user name gapon with your real UNIX name):

% newrel ana-0.13.0 ana-0.13.0
% cd ana-0.13.0/
% sit_setup
% kinit gapon
Password for gapon@SLAC.STANFORD.EDU: 


% addpkg psana_examples
Release ana-0.13.0 has tag V00-04-18 of package psana_examples, will use that
A    psana_examples/include
A    psana_examples/include/DumpPartition.h
A    psana_examples/include/DumpLusi.h
A    psana_examples/include/DumpPimax.h
..

If you have proper privileges for modifying the repository then you may even commit your modifications back to SVN.

Final notes

• The default configuration of the virtual machine won't allow external login into the machine (one can'e do 'ssh' into the system). However, it's possible to give you machine a unique IP address to allow the logins. Instructions can be found in the VirtualBox documentation. And make sure you change the default passwords of both root and pcds accounts in your virtual image.
• Please, read the documentation on VirtualBox
