All the necessary material is hosted in an svn repository at yallara. To have access to it, you need to be added to the ract unix group. If you are not familiar with svn control version, then you can get a nice quick tutorial here:

A more comprehensive manual for svn can be found here.

Repositories

The main repository link to the whole project is this one:

Server: yallara.cs.rmit.edu.au
Directory: /research/ai/linpa/ssardina/SVN-Repositories/software/RACT

Obs: Remember that it is *not* good practice to checkout the whole root repository.

You can access the different content inside the repository via ssh by using the usual svn path of the form: svn+ssh://[username]@yallara.cs.rmit.edu.au[path]

Inside the main repository, there are different sub-projects:

• Gold Mining Domain(including JACK system, game server, demo agents, etc)
  svn+ssh://yallara.cs.rmit.edu.au/research/ai/linpa/ssardina/SVN-Repositories/software/RACT/GOLD-JACKAGT
  
  
• Cow Herding Domain (including JACK system, game server, demo agents, etc)
  svn+ssh://yallara.cs.rmit.edu.au/research/ai/linpa/ssardina/SVN-Repositories/software/RACT/COWS-JACKAGT
  
  
• Generic GUI Interface
  svn+ssh://yallara.cs.rmit.edu.au/research/ai/linpa/ssardina/SVN-Repositories/software/RACT/GUI
  
  

Within each project directory there could be other modules (e.g., the game server for the domain, documentation, etc). In each sub-system, we used trunk for the main stable current version, branches to store current branches under development, and tags to store important versions.

So, for instance, you can obtain the current main version of the GUI system by executing:
# svn checkout svn+ssh://[username]@yallara.cs.rmit.edu.au/research/ai/linpa/ssardina/SVN-Repositories/software/RACT/GUI/trunk GUI

It is usually convenient to set up your ~/.ssh/config file and your ssh keys so as to be able to ssh to the server (in this case yallara) without an explicit username and without being prompted for a password. Please see how to do both things here.
