Airpaper (authentication needed) is the repository of papers written at Airlab.

It is based on Subversion; you can find some help in configuring Subversion in the Configuring Subversion page, but you don't need the key and Ssh part as Airpaper uses Http authentication. https://svn.ws.dei.polimi.it/airpaper/ is the repository Url when you checkout your working copy.

You have to be added as a user to the project by one of the administrators, even if you already are a user of Dei's Savane. Administrators/authors currently are: Rossella Blatt, Bernardo Dal Seno, Giulio Fontana, Matteo Matteucci, Simone Tognetti. (New administrators, please add your names here)

Structure

This is a partial structure of the repository:

• bci: BCI-related stuff
• benchmarking: papers related to benchmarking in robotics
• common: common stuff
  • bib: bibliography (Bibtex files, databases and styles)
  • images: obvious
• slam: simultaneous localization ans mapping
• wheelchair: Lurch-related stuff

All files related to a paper should be contained in one directory; please use a name that is clear and begins with a year, e.g., 2009_Science, 2010_Nature_Higgs.

Crash Course

For general information about Subversion and how to use it, please see the Subversion manual. If you are not familiar with version-control systems, the first chapter of the manual is a must-read. If you are familiar with CVS, please read at least Appendix B of the manual. This section and the page Using Subversion on this wiki are a quick introduction in case you are in a hurry, but they are no substitute for a manual, so if you are new to Subversion or version-control system, please take time to read the mentioned manuals before you upset anyone by inadvertently deleting their work.

Being a subversion repository you need a subversion client to use it (rather obvious). The simplest one is a terminal client, and the following are first command you can use to start using airpaper immediately:

$ svn co https://svn.ws.dei.polimi.it/airpaper

or for a subdirectory just

$ svn co https://svn.ws.dei.polimi.it/airpaper/bci

to add a new file or directory (directories are imported recursively) to the repository just execute

$ svn add <filename/dirname>

this code does not actually update the svn repository to do this you need to check-in the change with

$ svn ci <filename/dirname>

and you can use this command to check-in any change to your local file not just to import new ones.

If you just want to check if something is changed locally or remotely, you can use

$ svn stat

while to update your local version with the last changes in the repository you just need to update with

$ svn update

this command might generate conflicts you need to settle ... but this is another story and you should read it by you own from

$ svn help

And remember, read the Subversion manual!
