Prepackaged source downloads
Sources for recent releases are available at SourceForge.
Getting the latest sources over Superversion
October 2nd, 2004, Superversion became self-hosting. In other words, you need a Superversion client
in order to download the sources. The SourceForge CVS is not being updated anymore.
To download the Superversion sources, follow these steps:
- Download and install the Superversion 2.0 Beta 8 client.
This document explains how you can do this (if you have
Java WebStart, just
click here).
-
In the client, select a database directory. Click on "Remote projects".
-
As server name, enter "superversion.org". Click "Connect".
-
Choose "Superversion", then "Check out".
-
Select a local project name, then "Check out". Hit "Add work area..." and
choose the directory where you want the sources installed.
-
In the default marker dialog, just press "Choose" without selecting anything.
-
Enter "anonymous" as user name, leave the password field empty. Superversion now downloads the history
graph, which may take a while (up to a minute).
-
Go to "Work Area/Choose default marker...". Pick the marker you want
(Stable for the latest stable version, Beta for the latest beta). Select "Choose".
-
Answer Yes to perform the actual download.
That's it. It does involve a number of steps, but each of them is very simple.
Compiling
Although Superversion can be run with JDK 1.4 or JRE 1.4, it can only be compiled under JDK 1.5.
- Install Ant and add the bin directory to your system path
- Download the Superversion sources as explained above
- Copy lib/junit.jar from the Superversion tree to the lib directory of your Ant installation
- Change to the Superversion base directory and type "ant". Ant will try to compile and run Superversion.
