I'm slowly learning what SVN is (google -help pages and so).

I've found most of the commands an end user will need (not dev i'm not
likely to ci things are add or things).

svn co (checkout).
svn st (status).
svn up (update).

I install subversion first, $ sudo apt-get install subversion

Then i do this (for example):

svn co http://svn.slimdevices.com/repos/jive/7.3/trunk/squeezeplay

I'm doing this on an ubuntu 8.04 desktop.

svn will then create a ../squeezeplay/src in the current users home
folder

if i later do "svn up" from within /squeezeplay then svn updates my
source files to current status.

Then I fix and apt-get all other stuff needed to make i work on ubuntu.
as stated in the REAME.linux file and in the link in the wiki 
http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/SqueezePlayOnUbuntu710

And  via synaptic install additional portaudio packages that is needed
but not mentioned anywhere. see my post here:
Post nr 5 http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=56313

Now I'm ready to run the make file, and now I have Questions.

I cd to /squeezeplay/src and run make from there
$ make -f Makefile.linux

Q.1 should I run make from here ?

Then make is building a directory /squeezeplay/build/linux and so on.
I find my jive (squeezeplay) here /squeezeplay/build/linux/bin .
I find it , makes me launcher on my desktop provides it with one of the
icons from the source (so it loks better )

Q.2 squeezeplay is now built inside my local svn repo is this right ?
because now i get a lot "?" when running svn status.

Q.3 can the /build dir be somewhere else ?

Q.4 jive is now owned by the user that created it, it is read only for
other users, does that mean that other users can run the application ?
should one do something more to provide jive for more users ?

Q.5 obviously jive runs under a user account that user must log in and
start jive, is there other options ?
whats the equivalent of a "service" in linux  (daemon ?)

Now upgrading, updating from svn was a breeze "svn up"  ok.

Q.6 do I need to remove /build before running the make file again ?
It seems like "make" is smart enough to update the installation ?

Q.7 can i keep the hidden .squeezeplay folder that contains my settings
