Using SVN Version
Initial code checkout:
svn co svn://svn.gajim.org/gajim/trunk gajim
Updating to current version:
cd gajim && svn up
Launching:
cd gajim ./launch.sh
Nightly builds can be found here and there (deb)
Mixing SVN and Stable
If you run svn and then you go back to a stable version you will have problems, because the stable version cannot understand the new config. So if you have done that you need to clean you config and create a new one. First, close all Gajim instances and then
- In GNU/Linux
rm ~/.gajim/config
- In Windows 2000/XP
Start → Run and type
%appdata%\Gajim
and press Enter
now locate the config file and remove it
Now launch the application and a new config file will be created (you need to set accounts and other settings from scratch)
Running both: Stable and SVN
OK. That is also possible but you should avoid mixing the config file.
- In GNU/Linux
./launch.sh -p svn
this creates a config.svn (eg profile svn)
I've made a little bash script to simplify all process for all that people who (like me) are always updating with SVN. With this script you use always lastest update and it creates a new profile to avoid interferences between any existing profile. muzzol
#!/bin/bash SVN_DIR="$HOME/instal" cd "$SVN_DIR" svn co svn://svn.gajim.org/gajim/trunk gajim "$SVN_DIR"/gajim/launch.sh -p perfilsvn
- In Windows
rem ************ Launching Gajim svn ************ cd src gajim.py -p svn
save the above as gajim_svn.bat in the Gajim folder (eg. the folder that you have svn). Now you can double click gajim_svn.bat and you can run svn version without mixing with stable one
