Re: Download raw source file from http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/?

I just realised that from the two
    http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gnome-applets/trunk/
    http://svn.gnome.org/svn/gnome-applets/trunk/
the second gives you access to the raw files.

I expect many people will fall for this.

I do not claim to be a usability expert, however when I am in a page such as
http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gnome-applets/trunk/
there is no visible way to switch to the /svn/ variant.

I think that http://svn.gnome.org/svn/gnome-applets/trunk/ is being served by a separate web server process, and it's not elemental to get an easy switching between /svn/ and /viewvc/ using the tab.

I think the easiest alternative is to use "svn export":
1. If you want to grab
http://svn.gtk.org/viewvc/gtk%2B/trunk/m4macros/gtk-2.0.m4
   you need to convert this to
svn://svn.gtk.org/svn/gtk%2B/trunk/m4macros/gtk-2.0.m4
    

Why switch to svn://? We don't advertise this in our documents. Just use
http.

  

2. Then type

$ svn export svn://svn.gtk.org/svn/gtk%2B/trunk/m4macros/gtk-2.0.m4
    

or just wget as said before:
wget http://svn.gtk.org/svn/gtk+/trunk/m4macros/gtk-2.0.m4
