Building the OpenOCD Documentation
----------------------------------
Installing OpenOCD
==================
+On Linux, you may have permissions problems to address. The best way
+to do this is to use the contrib/openocd.udev rules file. It probably
+belongs somewhere in /etc/udev/rules.d, but consult your operating
+system documentation to be sure. In particular, make sure that it
+matches the syntax used by your operating system's version of udev.

The INSTALL file contains generic instructions for running 'configure'
and compiling the OpenOCD source code. That file is provided by default
for all GNU automake packages. If you are not familiar with the GNU
-autotools, then you should read those instructions first.

+Obtaining OpenOCD From GIT
+==========================
+
+You can download the current GIT version with a GIT client of your
+choice from the main repository:
+
+ git://openocd.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/openocd/openocd
+
+You may prefer to use a mirror:
+
+ http://repo.or.cz/r/openocd.git
+ git://repo.or.cz/openocd.git
+
+Using the GIT command line client, you might use the following command
+to set up a local copy of the current repository (make sure there is no
+directory called "openocd" in the current directory):
+
+ git clone git://openocd.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/openocd/openocd
-You can download the current SVN version with an SVN client of your
-choice from the following repositories:
+Then you can update that at your convenience using
- svn://svn.berlios.de/openocd/trunk
-or
- http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/openocd/trunk
+ git pull
-Using the SVN command line client, you can use the following command to
-fetch the latest version (make sure there is no (non-svn) directory
-called "openocd" in the current directory):
+There is also a gitweb interface, which you can use either to browse
+the repository or to download arbitrary snapshots using HTTP:
- svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/openocd/trunk openocd
+ http://openocd.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=openocd/openocd
+ http://repo.or.cz/w/openocd.git
-If you prefer GIT based tools, the git-svn package works too:
+Snapshots are compressed tarballs of the source tree, about 1.3 MBytes
+each at this writing.
- git svn clone -s svn://svn.berlios.de/openocd
