Using Subversion
BOINC uses Subversion (aka "SVN") for source code version control. The main SVN repository
is at https://boinc.berkeley.edu/svn/, which you can explore with a web browser. The latest
development version of the code is in the trunk
, while the most stable server code
is in branches/server_stable
.
You need an SVN client to check code out in bulk from the repository. On Linux the command line
command is simply svn
. On Windows TortoiseSVN provides
a useful graphical interface. See http://subversion.tigris.org/ for detailed information about
Subversion and information about other SVN clients.
