The latest Debian is not distributed in subversion. Debian is binary based distribution and its source are not in a single uniform VCS. (We use VCS but distribution of source is basically through tar.gz like format only as the SATNDARD method on our archive. See http://wiki.debian.org/Alioth for our VCS usage.) Each source package comes with debian/control file and it contains VCS infprmation if available. Some are git, svn, cvs, bzr, hg .... (I see more Debian packages using git these days.) If you have such good internat connection to download so much, why bother? Just use first netinst CD to install system. You can have access to required source package and copy by using "apt-get source ..." after setting deb-src line. If you just need readonly VCS access, it may be listed on PTS: http://packages.qa.debian.org/common/index.html Upstream VCS info maybe in debian/copyright file etc. I think it is time for you to read few basic documents on Debian. As first time Debian user: Installing Debian GNU/Linux via the Internet: http://www.debian.org/distrib/netinst Debian GNU/Linux FAQ http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/ Debian Reference (Especially package related section) http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/index.en.html If you want to "Develop", you also need to read Developer info listed: http://www.debian.org/doc/ > 2. Closer to the software development issue I installed Anjuta ... There is no single method. Some use emacs, some use vim, and some use IDE such as Anjuta. This is not Debian issue. You need to read manual of each system. As a novice learning program on Debian or Linix in general, just use default gcc on your system. Using other compilers are advanced topic. Osamu PS: I am no good programmer but almost all good programers seem to use emacs or vim as main tool while using IDE for some GUI program generation. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
