Repository Policy¶

The ProCKSI respository can only be accessed by designated developers after having logged in.

Repository Overview¶

The most important sub-repository within the global procksi repository are:

• ProCKSIbr
  Current main project, which will be split into the following sub-projects.
• ProCKSI-Database (to be discussed)br
  Will contain the design for the ProCKSI and Protein Multiverse database, and an SQL dump of the database structure including fixed data such as definition for methods, measures, etc. Additionally, it contains the code that should be used by all associated projects in order to access/ammend the database
• ProCKSI-Server (to be discussed)br
  Will contain the specifications and code for the management, front-end and framework components. It will use the ProCKSI-Database and the ProCKSI-Standalone components.br
  Other suggestions for labeling this sub-repository: ProCKSI, ProCKSI-Framework
• ProCKSI-Standalone (to be discussed)br
  Will contain the I/O specifications and the code for the ProCKSI and Protein Multiverse standalone "core" application, which can be used separately from the Database and the Server components.
  Other suggestions for labeling this sub-repository: ProcksiLite, ProCKSI-Local, ProCKSI-Engine, ProCKSI-Core
• ProtCompVNSbr
  Contains the Maximum Contact Map Overlap code using a Variable Neigbourhood Search
• Max-CMO_toolsbr
  Contains tools for the visualisation of contact maps, overlaps, ...
• !HyperTreebr
  Contains the code for the visualisation of Hyperbolic Trees

Each of these sub-repository for code development contains a trunk, tags, branches sub-directory. Please make yourself familiar with the internal SVN repository structure and how to commit code in this document.

Further sub-repositories are:

• Corporate Designbr
  Contains all ProCKSI related pictures, documents, ... providing a corporate design
• Datasetsbr
  Contains standard datasets for protein structure comparison
• Externalsbr
  Contains third-party software, e.g. similarity comparison methods, OS and cluster software, ...
• Hardwarebr
  Contains hardware specifications, invoices, ...
• Publicationsbr
  Contains all internal publications (papers, posters, presentations, ...) for protein structure comparison in their original format (PPT, DOC, ...), but packed and compressed in TGZ-format.br
  Please make yourself familiar with the Publications Policy before commiting publications to the repository.

Committing Code¶

When committing your code to the SVN repository, comment your action you are going to perform using the following abbreviations:
