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.

To check out the code you will need a SVN user id (and password). Read-only access to mas/trunk and mce_script/trunk is available through the general-purpose, semi-anonymous account mceanon. Contact UBC for password details.

Per-experiment read-only accounts can also be requested for experiment-specific access to other parts of the repositories (e.g. the per-experiment branches of mce_config). Committing to the repository requires a personal account. For account information, contact UBC.

MAS

Everyone should be using mas/trunk these days. (In the past we suggested branching the MAS repository on a per-experiment basis 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=mceanon svn://e-mode.phas.ubc.ca/mas/trunk mas

See MAS OS setup for information on how to build and install MAS.

MCE Script

Everyone should be using mce_script/trunk these days. (In the past we suggested branching mce_script on a per-experiment basis but MCE Script is now stable enough that this is no longer mecessary.)

We also now suggest people check mce_script in a user source folder somewhere, and install it into /usr/mce/mce_script (or wherever they want the public copy to go) using the supplied Makefile. (In the past checking out mce_script directly into /usr/mce was suggested).

To check out MCE script:

cd src/
svn checkout --username=mceanon svn://e-mode.phas.ubc.ca/mce_script/trunk mce_script

See MAS OS setup for information on how to build and install MCE Script.
