Notice: SVN Path Change
If you’ve been watching svn lately, you might have noticed that lots of cleaning, pruning, and reorganizing has been taking place. While everything else was churned up, it seemed like a good time to move the main development code to trunk. The linuxport branch has been removed. She was a good ship!
Builders, packagers, maintainers take note
The main development path has changed to: https://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xbmc/trunk/
If you already have xbmc checked out it’s easy to switch.
Using the svn cli: ’svn switch https://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xbmc/trunk’
Using TortoiseSVN: TortoiseSVN -> Switch -> update the url
If you manage to wreck your repo, just do a fresh checkout and you’ll be building again in no time.
XBOX development will now take place in its own branch. To grab it, checkout: https://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xbmc/branches/xbox
Tortoise would not let me do a relocate. I had to to a “switch”. But that seems to have done the trick.
@kricker
Looks like you’re correct, post updated. Thanks.
Does this mark the start of a now stable SVN? Or will that be a separate announcement?
@terminal.illness
Things are shaping up but still under heavy reorganization. We’ll be sure to let you know when we think it’s stabilized.
Updated XBMC Xbox wiki page to reflect branch change.

Thanks theuni
Could it be that the gentoo xbmc-9999 ebuild is not adjusted yet?
sorry, just saw this. The gentoo people are on it:

Okay, I tried this in my old XBMC directory and receive an error->
blkmgk@XBMC-ION:~/XBMC$ svn switch https://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xbmc/trunk
svn: ‘http://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xbmc/branches/linuxport/XBMC’
is not the same repository as
‘https://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xbmc’
The old how-to page says to use -> svn checkout {{svn}}
And the Ubuntu page says -> svn co https://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xbmc/trunk/
The first isn’t valid and the latter appears to drop a new copy of code in a brand new directory called trunk. Umm, I’d like to keep using the old XBMC directory – is this not possible and if so was the command above supposed to do that for me? How best to do this?
BLKMGK just throw a PATH onto the end of your command.
svn co https://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xbmc/trunk/ ./XBMC
for more info take a look at “svn help co”
BLKMGK, I did
svn switch http://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xbmc/trunk/ ./XBMC
and it worked, I took out the s in https and it worked.
