[scribus] Would like to compile 1.5.4 please

[William Bader]

Hi Martin,
To view all of the revisions, you can use a command like
  svn log svn://scribus.net/trunk/Scribus | less
and then you can get any version with a command like
  svn co -r r22486 svn://scribus.net/trunk/Scribus
(I picked that revision at random. It is not the one that you want.)
I think that if you have copied the entire repository with
  svn co svn://scribus.net/trunk/Scribus
then you can view the revisions locally with
  svn log | less
and you can switch to a revision locally with a command like
  svn up -r r22486
If you have a slow connection, that could be your best option, because once
you do the initial 'svn co', you can bring it up to date by using 'svn
update' to download only the changes.
You can also list the branches with
  svn ls svn://scribus.net/branches
and the tags with
  svn ls svn://scribus.net/tags
There is a tag Release_1.5.4, so you can get the 1.5.4 source with
  svn co svn://scribus.net/tags/Release_1.5.4/
Regards,
William
