Cookbook

  You only need to do the following setup steps once.  In order to access the
arch sources you need to let arch know who you are with the command::

    tla my-id "First Last <address@hidden>"

Next you need to register an archive::

    tla register-archive address@hidden http://axiom-developer.org/archive/axiom

Then set up a default archive::

    tla my-default-archive address@hidden

In order to get the latest source for the Axiom main line type::

    tla get axiom--main--1

There are several branches available. Each branch is used to develop a
particular idea and get a stable, working version before merging it back to the
main line. The currently available branches are:

- axiom--main--1 the main development branch

     this branch will be mirrored to the CVS on savannah
     when it is stable and tested.  
     
     Currently in <a href="devel.html">step 4</a> of development.

- axiom--hyperdoc--1   development of hyperdoc

     NOTE: This branch has been merged and is now dead.

     this branch contains code for building hyperdoc. 

- axiom--BSD--1        port to BSD

- axiom--algebra--1    prototype algebra code

     Currently in <a href="devel.html">step 1</a> of development.

If you need write access to the archive you need to follow these steps:

Create a key by typing::

  ssh-keygen -t dsa

This will create a file called '.ssh/id_dsa.pub'. You need to send the contents
of this file to Tim Daly &lt;address@hidden&gt; so your interactions can be
enabled.

In order to access the arch sources you need to let arch know who you are with
the command::

  tla my-id "First Last &lt;address@hidden&gt;"

Next you need to register an archive::

  tla register-archive address@hidden 
sftp://address@hidden/home/arch/archive/axiom

Notice that you're using sftp rather than http. The sftp function uses the
secure keys to enable ftp access to the sources. The http function is
read-only.

Then set up a default archive::

  tla my-default-archive address@hidden

In order to get the latest source for the Axiom main line type::

  tla get axiom--main--1

Now you can change the sources. Once you've made changes they need to be sent
back (commit) to the host. In order to do the commit function in tla you need a
log file that summarizes the changes.  You can create and edit the log file
with::

  emacs -nw `tla make-log`

or for the vi fans::

  vi `tla make-log`

Finally you commit the changes with::

  tla commit
