SVN download for vdrift-data (tracks&cars) not working at SourceForge?

[jenn4]

Debian probably is not the factor that causes your problem, but it is your savior in your situation. Just follow these steps.

1. Install the subversion package.

Code:

# apt-get install subversion

2. Open a terminal client. CTRL+ALT+T should work.

3. Navigate into your vdrift/tracks. If you have installed vdrift through apt-get your vdrift folder is ~/.vdrift. It however might not have a tracks/ folder. If this is the case, run

Code:

$ mkdir tracks

4. Download the tracks using subversion (svn):

Code:

$ svn co https://vdrift.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vdrift/vdrift-data/tracks/nuerburgring_nordschleife
$ svn co https://vdrift.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vdrift/vdrift-data/tracks/ring2007

5. Start the game. Now the tracks should be there.

You could also download the whole tracks folder with

Code:

$ svn co https://vdrift.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vdrift/vdrift-data/tracks/

If there are any problems with these commands, please ask for help. I have not tested these instructions on debian, although I have done something similiar with my arch system.
