Using SVN source repositories

For developer needs you may want to test the latest unstable version of R or try the stable version with recent patches. In that case the source code will be fetched from the official SVN server in the following ways.

For R stable + patches (SVN server):

$ ./roaster --set-branch

For R unstable (SVN server):

$ ./roaster --set-trunk

To switch back to stable:

$ ./roaster --set-stable

Easy.

Test a standard build as usual:

$ ./roaster --build-standard

Other SVN commands

Are available other commands:

Fetch latest 2 repositories (optional):

$ ./roaster --svn-repo-fetch

Update local svn repositories (optional):

$ ./roaster --svn-repo-update

List informations about the most recent repositories:

$ ./roaster --svn-repo-branches

Enjoy.
