Subversion Access
The easiest way to get the latest OWA code is to do checkout of the trunk from OWA subversion (SVN) repository. All you need is a Subversion client which is install on most UNIX hosts these days.
You can browse the Subversion repository at http://svn.openwebanalytics.com/owa .
The repository contains three top level directories:
- trunk/ - this is where the latest copy of the owa code lives and where developers are committing changes prior to a new release. If you area developer looking to contribute to the next release of OWA, you should check out the trunk.
- branches/ - this is where you can find the version of a particular major release. For example v1.0, v2.0 etc. Minor releases are merged into these branches so if you are running the v1.0 line of code then you can always count on svn update to update you to the latest release for that line. If you are looking to run OWA you should check out the latest branch.
- tags/ - this is where you can find snapshots of all releases major or minor in case you need to check out a very specific version.
Checking Out Code
To check out code from the repository follow these steps:
- navigate to the directory on your server that you want Subservion to check out code into. On a UNIX host this is something like:
cd your_dir
- Then type the following command:
svn co http://svn.openwebanalytics.com/owa/WHAT/ ./owa
"WHAT" is the name of the directory path in the repository that you would like to check out. For example to check out the trunk you would type:svn co http://svn.openwebanalytics.com/owa/trunk/ ./owa
To check out the v1.0 branch you would type:svn co http://svn.openwebanalytics.com/owa/branches/1.0/ ./owa
Updating Your Copy of the Code
To update your copy of code of the code follow these steps:
- Navigate to the directory on your server where you checked out the code
- Type the following SVN command:
svn update
This will only update files contained in subversion, meaning that any new files that you created (like your configuration file, or new plugins that you create) will remain untouched. However it does mean that if you modified one of the core OWA files that you will need to manually merge your changes.
Distributions
Package Downloads
You can download the latest releases by pointing your web browser or HTTP client at: http://downloads.openwebanalytics.com/owa
Subversion
All version of the code are housed in the Subversion repository. Major releases have their own home in the branches directory. Major release branches enjoy updates whenever minor releases occur so that one can simply svn update off of that directory untill there is a new major release. For example /owa/branches/1.0 will have 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 merged into it as those minor releases happen. If a release involves a major schema change, it will probably be branched as a major release.
In addtion to the branches, all releases major or minor will be stored in the tags directory if you ever need to roll back to a specific release.
