RapidSVN + Meld = Painless versioning

Posted on | March 6, 2008 |

My last post was how to ease up with svn on GNU/Linux using a nautilus script similar to TortoiseSVN on windows. However, the script could not serve me up to my expectation when it comes to view the diff.

I have started using RapidSVN recently. I like its features and user friendliness.  Unfortunately, it has no built in diff tool. A diff tool must be specified in the Program form. This form can be invoked by following View->Preferences menu.

Kompare  with KDESvn was my last choice. This duo is also cool I admit but I am really a fan of Gnome :) Searching over the gnomefiles I reached to Meld Diff viewer. Moreover, synaptic repo in my Ubuntu 7.10 also listed it under development category.

Now, I can easily see the diff of a file against base or head or even with any version easily. Meld allows editing and saving both the files. Here is some screen shots:

    Every time I visit this website I loose my assurance that everything written here is real. But even if it’s not true, I keep on visiting it because it’s interesting. There are many posts which you can’t find anywhere else.
