= Using Subversion =

BOINC uses Subversion (aka "SVN") for source code version control.   The main SVN repository 
is at http://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 [http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ TortoiseSVN] provides
a useful graphical interface.   See http://subversion.tigris.org/ for detailed information about
Subversion and information about other SVN clients.

* Detailed instructions on how to obtain the BOINC source code via SVN are on the SourceCode page

* More information about SVN can be found in the  the [http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ Subversion Book].
