As I mentioned in my open source pledge, I’ve switched from Windows to Ubuntu Linux as my main development environment. I’m very happy with the switch overall, but the one piece of software I really miss is TortoiseSVN!
It also means I haven’t had a chance to test my TortoiseSVN Menu extension with Firefox 3. I’ve compiled a new version of the extension but not yet uploaded it to the Mozilla Addons site. I need help to test it with Firefox 3 and TortoiseSVN 1.5, since I’ve only had a chance to make sure that it installs properly.
If you would like to help me test the extension with Firefox 3 and/or TortoiseSVN 1.5, please download it from here and then reply back to this blog post with your results. Once I’ve gotten a few people to test it out I’ll upload it to the official AMO site.
- Install TortoiseSVN Menu Extension for Firefox 3. (See below: you should install directly from AMO by logging in and choosing the “Experimental” version, 0.2.3). You will need to right-click the extension and choose “Save As”, save to your hard drive, then install to FF3 locally (easiest way is to drag onto the FF3 window).
UPDATE 7/9/2008: I have uploaded the new version to addons.mozilla.org (AMO), but it will remain marked “Experimental” until it’s reviewed. You must be logged in to view or download experimental plugins. You can help move along the review process by writing a review on the AMO site.

Seems to be working without any problems, I’ll report back if anything unexpected occurs.

Almost forgot in my mad dash to enjoy tSVN/ff3-goodness, thanks for developing this extension. I used the older version heavily and appreciate you taking the time to keep it up-to-date. Congrats on making the move to linux, now if only I could convince my CEO to do the same.

Thanks Don, glad you find the extension useful, I’ve uploaded the new version to AMO but until it’s reviewed by their staff it remains marked as “Experimental”.

Well, I don’t know if it works or not. I’m trying to get TortoiseSVN working under wine. Any pointers to getting that working welcome (I installed it under wine, but the browser integration in firefox isn’t working…)

Have you changed tsvn.tproc_path under about:config to the correct command to run to launch TortoiseProc.exe? To be honest I don’t even know if it would accept a command line with parameters (I’m guessing it would need to be something like: /usr/bin/wine “/home/user/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/TortoiseSvn/bin/TortoiseProc.exe”
