1. svn Q: How do you put files in a sourceforge project?

I have this much done. The question is how to put files in this project.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/dmak/
The book svn-book.pdf is as clear as mud to me. I did Google searches to find a clue but everything is as clear as mud to me. I tried 'svn import' a bunch of different ways but that didn't do anything. 'svn checkout' seemed to work but of course there is nothing to check out at this time.
I gotta either learn how to get started with svn or else remove the project from sourceforge and find a different home for it.

If you've done a checkout, then you've got a working copy. Move your files there, and let svn know about them using add:
$ svn add *This will tell svn that the next commit should send these files. Try using the status command to see the changes since checkout:
$ svn stThen, when you're ready go ahead and commit:
$ svn ci -m "initial import of files"Note that 'ci' is the abbreviation for commit, and -m is for your commit message. If you set the environment variable SVN_EDITOR, you can write the message in whatever editor you specify. I have SVN_EDITOR set to nano, for instance.
Finally, update your working copy:
$ svn upIn general, update (up), status (st) and commit (ci) will account for the vast majority of your svn usage.

About putting my files in my working copy.
This is what I have in what I'm guessing is the working copy.
I have directory svn. Inside this is directory /dmak. Inside svn/dmak I have directories /conf, /db, /hooks, /locks, /format, and a file called 'README.txt'.
How should I put my files in svn/dmak? (assuming that this is the working directory) Should they be in svn/dmak/trunk?
The files to go into the working directory are in upload_dmak/dmak. This consists of a bunch of subdirectories and a bunch of files. Should I put all this stuff in svn/dmak/trunk?
I'm totally green about svn. Maybe some day it will seem easy, but for now I need to ask ignorant questions.

Jerry,
I would really recommend reading the book "Version Control with Subversion". It can be had online at:
I believe the Chapter 2, Basic Usage, will get you going pretty strong with it.

For the users that want to use SVN commands on Linux.
Since there is no TortoiseSVN for linux I just wanted to
let you know there is an add on MENU for Firefox that will
make using the SVN commands a little easier on Linux.
Here is the link :
