Now that the gnucash repository is using svn for version control (since 2005-11-04), the need for a quick tutorial on how to get the sources might be in order. There was some introduction about SVN in an [http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2005-October/014333.html e-mail] on gnucash-devel:

for information about subversion. 
 
 
 
Specifically, [http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch03.html Chapter 3. Guided Tour]
 
and [http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/apa.html Appendix A. Subversion for CVS Users] are relevant.
 
 
 
The command-line client `<tt>svn</tt>` has a nice integrated help system; `<tt>svn help</tt>`
 
will provide the top-level command list, and `<tt>svn help <command></tt>` detailed
 
help for the specific command.
 
 
 
The bottom line is that getting the source via svn isn't altogether different from getting it using cvs.

===URLs===
 
The various base URLs look like:

  developer:  svn+ssh://username@svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash/trunk
 
      trac:  http://svn.gnucash.org/trac
 
 
 
===Common Commands===
 
To get what used to be CVS HEAD (and now includes what used to be gnucash-gnome2-dev), you will need to get the svn TRUNK:
 
 
 
    svn checkout <nowiki>http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash/trunk</nowiki> gnucash
 
 
 
The argument "gnucash" above can be whatever you want your local directory to be called, and is optional. If you leave it out, you'll have a directory called "trunk" created containing all the source code.
 
 
 
If you want the latest 1.8.x code, you'd need to pull from the 1.8 branch, as follows:
 
 
 
    svn checkout <nowiki>http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash/branches/1.8</nowiki> gnucash-1.8
 
 
 
And if you want the released code for a specific release (or tag), you'd use:
 
 
 
    svn checkout <nowiki>http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash/tags/1.8.12</nowiki> gnucash-1.8.12
 
 
 
And to update, just cd into the directory containing the sources you want updated and execute a simple
 
 
 
    svn update
 
 
 
Please examine the README.svn file for notes on compiling gnucash, and the HACKING file for notes on hacking the code.
 
 
 
Enjoy!
