Subversion Usage Print

Subversion is the tool we use for storing our source code in a central location. This system allows everyone to have their own copy of the source code. You can read more about Subversion at Wikipedia.

If you just wish to take a quick look at the the Subversion repository, you may use the web-based interface: Browse Subversion Repository.

Development branches

We are developing two versions of FreeCol at the same time: the main version and a 0.7.x-branch. The former will be released as FreeCol 0.8.0 and will be buggy for a long time, while the latter will be used for creating 0.7.x releases.
Read more on the Subversion Repository Layout.



Get the latest development version

The main version is currently being restructured. We recommend the 0.7.x branch for users who would like to play a development version of the game (unless they want to spend most of their time reporting bugs).

You need a Subversion client in order to get the development version of the game.

Main version:https://svn.freecol.org/svnroot/freecol/freecol/trunk
0.7.x-branch (recommended):https://svn.freecol.org/svnroot/freecol/freecol/branches/0.7.x/trunk

This is how you can get the versions using command-line subversion (refer to the application's documentation otherwise):

Getting the main version:
# svn co https://svn.freecol.org/svnroot/freecol/freecol/trunk/ freecol

Getting the 0.7.x branch:
# svn co https://svn.freecol.org/svnroot/freecol/freecol/branches/0.7.x/trunk freecol

The hash (#) represents your command-line prompt - don't write it :-)

In order to compile the game you will need a Java Virtual Machine version 1.5 or higher from Sun or Blackdown and a recent version of Ant.
