How to install Rabbitvcs on centos7?

Question

I'm used to tortoise SVN. But after switching to centos 7 it is very difficult to use it without GUI. Please Help me install RabbitVCS instead.

Answer 1

The below instructions worked for me in May 2019. YMMV.

Install EPEL Release

export http_proxy=http://{proxyhost}:{port}
wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
sudo yum install epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

Install Pre-requisites

sudo yum install meld pysvn python-dulwich python-simplejson

Fetch RabbitVCS packages

export ftp_proxy=$http_proxy
wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home:/hmandevteam/CentOS_7/noarch/rabbitvcs-core-0.17.1-3.2.noarch.rpm
wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home:/hmandevteam/CentOS_7/noarch/rabbitvcs-cli-0.17.1-3.2.noarch.rpm
wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home:/hmandevteam/CentOS_7/noarch/python2-rabbitvcs-0.17.1-3.2.noarch.rpm
wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home:/hmandevteam/CentOS_7/noarch/rabbitvcs-nautilus-0.17.1-3.2.noarch.rpm

Install RabbitVCS packages

sudo yum install rabbitvcs-core-0.17.1-3.2.noarch.rpm
sudo yum install rabbitvcs-cli-0.17.1-3.2.noarch.rpm
sudo yum install python2-rabbitvcs-0.17.1-3.2.noarch.rpm
sudo yum install rabbitvcs-nautilus-0.17.1-3.2.noarch.rpm

Reboot

sudo reboot

Open File Manager and you can see RabbitVCS Menu

If the above rpm ftp locations become stale, goto http://rpm.pbone.net and search for the following packages with Centos 7 filter -

• rabbitvcs-core
• rabbitvcs-cli
• python2-rabbitvcs
• rabbitvcs-nautilus

You may find these packages at other locations too

NOTE: You may sometimes require these pre-requisite packages too pygtk, python-configobj, python-gobject, python-gtkspell, python-svn

I had same problem when working with centos7, ended up using thunar instead of nautilus. See stackexchange and github issue.

Update: I have successfully build rabbitVCS following steps from the github.com and then copied the nautilus extension.
