Having a read only vn access of the repositories

The following page:

http://svn.archlinux.org/svn/

let think that the abs is maintained with svn. But is it possible to have a public read only access to the repositories? If yes at which address? What I want is to have svn access which would give access to all of the revision, not just the last one (as we have with the abs script).

Re: Having a read only vn access of the repositories

Hello,

The svn repository seems to be available at: svn://svn.archlinux.org/home/svn-packages/

Heads up: I imagine that the repo is quite big, so it's not a good idea to do a root checkout. Instead, fetch only the packages you're interested in:

svn co svn://svn.archlinux.org/home/svn-packages/<package_name>

To see which packages exist, you can either use the web interface or the following command:

svn list svn://svn.archlinux.org/home/svn-packages/ | tr -d /
