Code repositories

MAS and MCE script are housed in separate Subversion (SVN) repositories on e-mode.phas.ubc.ca, accessible from anywhere on the internet. The core MAS repository is called mas. The MCE script repository is called mce_script.

Checkout

MAS

Everyone should be using mas/trunk these days. (In the past we suggested branching the MAS repository on a per-experiment basis, as is done for MCE script, but MAS is now stable enough that this is no longer necessary.) Only mas/trunk is currently maintained for Ubuntu 10.04 and 12.04.

MAS uses the GNU autotools for a bit of configuration work. You should checkout MAS into a user source folder somewhere:

cd src/
svn checkout --username=<my_svn_id or my_experiment_name> svn://e-mode.phas.ubc.ca/mas/trunk mas

MCE Script

The top-level structure of the mce_script repositories is, roughly:

  --+--trunk
    +--branch--+--experiment1
               +--experiment2
               +-- ...

Depending on whether you want the trunk (UBC users or read-only for other users), or your experiment's branch, you should use either

 MY_BRANCH=trunk
 MY_USER=my_svn_id

or

 MY_BRANCH=branch/my_experiment_name
 MY_USER=my_experiment_name

If you have a personal svn id, you should use it. Sometimes.

Since things in mce_scripts tend to get edited more often than MAS, it should be checked-out directly into /usr/mce. The /usr/mce directory should be created automatically when you "sudo make install" the mas source. If you can't wait that long, create it manually:

sudo mkdir /usr/mce
sudo chgrp mce /usr/mce
sudo chmod g+wxs /usr/mce

Then checkout mce_script:

cd /usr/mce
svn checkout --username=$MY_USER svn://e-mode.phas.ubc.ca/mce_script/$MY_BRANCH  mce_script

(You need to be in the mce group to get away with the checkout... 'usermod -a -G mce <username>' )
