1. Install SVK.
2. Create a local SVN (NOT SVK) repository in your system using regular svn command. Under Unix/Linux, you must be logged in as the user of the repository. You can not change owner/group/permission of the repository and have things work correctly. If you need to change any of that, you are better off deleting the repository and recreating it. I also found that I had to make apache (the user of the httpd) the the owner of the repository on my server to make it work correctly over the http.
3. Tell SVK about this repository. SVK calls it depot.

   Code Block
   svk depotmap

   An editor will pop-up (which can be changed using $EDITOR environment variable). Edit it to point to your repository and save.
4. Create a mirror of http://svn.ofbiz.org/svn/ofbiz/trunk^{Image Removed} in your local PC/LAN. We will call it uplink.

   Code Block
   svk mirror http://svn.ofbiz.org/svn/ofbiz/trunk //uplink svk sync --skipto HEAD //uplink

   This will mirror the current HEAD rather than the entire history, and shouldn't take much longer than a regular SVN checkout.
5. Create a working repository for SVN users (it uses the same copy command)

   Code Block
   svk copy //uplink //local

   //local is now the SVN local repository.

...

1. Checkout using SVN (not SVK) from file:///^{Image Removed}<repository location>/local
2. Make changes as usual
3. Use regular svn client commands (e.g. commit, update) for code management which now talk to //local repository
4. To download updates from OFBiz

   Code Block
   svk sync //uplink

5. To bring in changes from OFBiz repository but not send changes back

   Code Block
   svk pull //local

6. To bring in changes as well as send changes up

   Code Block
   svk smerge //uplink //local

7. To update working copies, use svn update command.
8. To create a patch of all changes in local repository compared to ofbiz/trunk and store in patchfilename.patch

   Code Block
   svk push -P patchfilename //local

9. To apply a patch (say bug1.patch) to the repository, place the patch in .svk/patch directory and run

   Code Block
   svk patch --apply bug1 //local
