Updates.
That's all I've been doing this week on Belial, the annoying Mac Laptop [1].
Updates.
So I'm all ready to checkout our source code repositories:
[sconner]belial:~/repo>svn checkout https://www.example.com/path/to/repo -bash: svn: command not found [sconner]belial:~/repo>
Seriously?
I install the developer tools, and Subversion [2] is not installed?
[sconner]belial:~/repo>git
usage: git [--version] [--help] [-C <path>] [-c <name>=<value>]
[--exec-path[=<path>]] [--html-path] [--man-path] [--info-path]
[-p | --paginate | -P | --no-pager] [--no-replace-objects] [--bare]
[--git-dir=<path>] [--work-tree=<path>] [--namespace=<name>]
<command> [<args>]
These are common Git commands used in various situations:
start a working area (see also: git help tutorial)
clone Clone a repository into a new directory
init Create an empty Git repository or reinitialize an existing one
work on the current change (see also: git help everyday)
add Add file contents to the index
mv Move or rename a file, a directory, or a symlink
restore Restore working tree files
rm Remove files from the working tree and from the index
sparse-checkout Initialize and modify the sparse-checkout
examine the history and state (see also: git help revisions)
bisect Use binary search to find the commit that introduced a bug
diff Show changes between commits, commit and working tree, etc
grep Print lines matching a pattern
log Show commit logs
show Show various types of objects
status Show the working tree status
grow, mark and tweak your common history
branch List, create, or delete branches
commit Record changes to the repository
merge Join two or more development histories together
rebase Reapply commits on top of another base tip
reset Reset current HEAD to the specified state
switch Switch branches
tag Create, list, delete or verify a tag object signed with GPG
collaborate (see also: git help workflows)
fetch Download objects and refs from another repository
pull Fetch from and integrate with another repository or a local branch
push Update remote refs along with associated objects
'git help -a' and 'git help -g' list available subcommands and some
concept guides. See 'git help <command>' or 'git help <concept>'
to read about a specific subcommand or concept.
See 'git help git' for an overview of the system.

So you have git but not Subversion.
Oh! You removed Subversion from the developer tools [3]!
Lovely.
Oh, I can install it with MacPorts [4]? Cool.
belial:~ root# port install subversion -sh: port: command not found belial:~ root#
Oh. Okay. I see. How do I get it installed? Oh, I need to install Xcode and the Xcode command line tools [5]. I just have the command line tools.
Oh, XCode is only available via the Apple Store. I don't have an account to use the Apple Store. I mean, I do, but there's no way in XXXX I'm going to use my private account for work. Let me see if I can compile Subversion from source.
I'll spare you the details—I can't. Subversion requires The Apache Portable Runtime Project [6] and that project can't quite figure out the system and I'm not versed enough (nor paid enough) to debug autoconf tool issues.
When I ask the Corporate Overlords about updates via the Apple Store, I'm told that that particular issue hasn't actually been hashed out yet. Nice to know that Mac users aren't second class citizens in our Corporate Overlords' eyes. I end up creating a new account for use with the annoying Mac laptop and hope any changes to my credit card can get expensed.
Oh, XCode is over 12G (Gigabytes) in size?
Sigh.
The initial estimated 104 hours to update [7] is actually turning out to be rather accurate.
