Actually, that should work because checkouts are anonymous by default.  The first time you try to commit, it prompts for a username and password.  I suggest making the virtual username be "brlcad" or "mged" just so it'll tie to an actual sf.net account on the first commit attempt.

Path looks fine: svn checkout https://brlcad.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/brlcad/brlcad/trunk brlcad

Then perhaps compile into either a matching-level ~/brlcad.build directory or a subdir ~/brlcad/.build directory, install into /usr/brlcad/dev-###, make sure PATH and MANPATH are set up, EDITOR is set, etc. ;)

The goal is to have everything be a few steps as absolutely possible and ideally as obvious as possible so we have to field even fewer questions.

Cheers!
Sean
