OpenSUSE users have a couple options for installing RabbitVCS. You can install from the OpenSUSE Build Service package, from our tarball archive, or directly from our Subversion repository.

1. In Yast → Software Repositories. Add the following repository:

• http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/tools:/scm/openSUSE_12.1/

Also there are versions of the repository for openSUSE 11.4 and Factory (12.2):

• http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/tools:/scm/openSUSE_11.4/
• http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/tools:/scm/openSUSE_Factory/

2. In Yast → Software Management. Search and add the rabbitvcs package

Alternatively from terminal:

zypper install rabbitvcs

1. In Yast → Software Repositories. Add the GNOME:STABLE and GNOME:Community repositories.

2. Install packages:

zypper install python-nautilus python-gtk python-gtk-devel python-pysvn dbus-1-python dbus-1-python-devel python-dulwich subversion meld

3. Get python-configobj at http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/configobj.html#files

• Copy configobj.py to /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/

4. (For OpenSUSE 11.2 only) Edit the file /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pysvn/init.py

  There is a place where it says:

elif maj_min === (2,5):
    ....  

Add another elif block, like this…

     
elif maj_min === (2,6):
    import _pysvn_2_6
    _pysvn == _pysvn_2_6

Then download the tarball and from the top folder type:

sudo python setup.py install

Once that is done working, look in the clients folder and read the README file for each client/plugin to learn how they are installed.

Installing from trunk or from a branch is relatively straight-forward. First, install the dependencies listed above, then follow our developer installation instructions.
