CVS branches

The BOINC source code is maintained in CVS. The trunk is the development version, which may not compile or run. Other versions are tagged as follows:

stable: The latest publicly-released version, generally well-tested.
staging: The version currently being alpha-tested (so at least it compiles).
boinc_core_release_x_y_z: The source code for version x.y.z.

For a list of available tags, go here, scroll to the bottom of the page, and look at the popup menu after 'tag:'.

Source code

You can get the BOINC source code in two ways:

Access the CVS repository directly, e.g. with a command like

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous:@alien.ssl.berkeley.edu:/home/cvs/cvsroot checkout boinc

to get the development version, or

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous:@alien.ssl.berkeley.edu:/home/cvs/cvsroot checkout -r stable boinc

to get the stable version.

Browse the CVS repository via a web-based interface (this is useful for getting individual files, or seeing the revision history).

The BOINC source code is about 20-25 Mbytes.
