Install RabbitVCS on Ubuntu 12.10

First install some prerequisites.

$ sudo apt-get update

$ sudo apt-get install python-nautilus python-configobj python-gtk2 python-glade2 python-svn python-dbus python-dulwich subversion meld gconf-editor


Download the tarball, untar it and run the setup script

$ wget http://rabbitvcs.googlecode.com/files/rabbitvcs-0.15.2.tar.bz2

$ tar jxvf rabbitvcs-0.15.2.tar.bz2

$ cd rabbitvcs-0.15.2/

$ sudo python setup.py install --install-layout=deb


Still inside the rabbitvcs-0.15.2 directory, cd to the nautilus-3.0 under the clients directory and copy the RabbitVCS.py to the extensions dir

$ cd clients/nautilus-3.0

$ sudo cp RabbitVCS.py /usr/share/nautilus-python/extensions/


Logout and log back in. Now create a folder and right click on it to see the RabbitVCS menu, perform a checkout.
