Get expo loser data: Download and run TortoiseHG Clone (or update) from the repository.
If you are using a mac you might have to do it with the command line, and then open it in the workbench

hg clone ssh://expo@expo.survex.com/loser

Do the same with tunneldata repository (which is also mercurial type).

Now you need to copy out the surveyscans, which are a vast set of binary files. First get the directory structure of the scans for all the years by getting a command window open in the directory containing the tunneldata directory and typing:

rsync -av -f"+ /" -f"- " expo@expo.survex.com:expofiles/surveyscans .

Now you can selectively download by year, like this:

rsync -av expo@expo.survex.com:expofiles/surveyscans/2017/ surveyscans/2017/

Now you should be able to run tunnel and look at your data

(If you get a background image not loading, check the full file name for it; in case it starts with "expofiles/surveyscans" and delete the "expofiles" part of the file path)

how do I put an updated svx file onto the repository?

goatchurchprime commented 6 years ago

You need to have installed mercurial (hg). It has a UI for windows known as TortoiseHG. Look for TortoiseHG workbench and use that to see the files and all their history. Ask becka for details

One command line: hg pull hg update hg add yourfile.xml hg commit -uyourname

[ this throws you into VI. Hit "i" then type your comment. Then do and ":wq" then return to save and quit. There are help videos and pages for VI editor https://www.howtogeek.com/102468/a-beginners-guide-to-editing-text-files-with-vi/ ]

hg push

You can add files in and do it the other direction like so: rsync -av surveyscans/2017/ expo@expo.survex.com:expofiles/surveyscans/2017/

(It's completely futile trying to get rsync to work on windows, I've found. Best to run these commands under a unix operating system and copy across using an SD card.)
