You can also check CVS activity hereby using the CIA bot.

What is Subversion

Subversion is a widely used system to store, archive, and manage large source projects. It is fast becoming the de-facto standard in all Free Software projects in part because it is Free Software itself. If you are not familiar with Subversion it is highly suggested that you start with a primer on Subversion and get yourself familiar with Subversion operations. The Subversion Homepage is a good starting point.

The OpenNeL platform is managed under Subversion and complete access to the corresponding Subversion source tree is available below. You may pull any file off the source tree using your browser, check its history, and visually follow the evolution of the source - something which is always fascinating in itself.

Most people will want to pull a complete copy of the source however which is something that is too complex to do using the web only. This server allows anonymous Subversion to access (read-only) the Subversion repository.

How To Checkout OpenNeL (CLI)

You're welcome to access the OpenNeL Subversion repository anonymously. Accessing Subversion using the command line is simple:

svn co https://nel.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/nel/trunk code

This will check out OpenNeL to a local directory called "code."

How To Checkout OpenNeL (TortoiseSVN)

If you're using Windows do not try to get files with Cygwin's Subversion. If you do will not get valid files. You must use a tool such as TortoiseSVN to get the source code from Subversion on the Windows platform. These clients will put correct end-of-line character (DOS format) as well as be much more useful and integrated into the overall Windows experience.

After installing TortoiseSVN you will use Windows Explorer to do most of your Subversion work. To check out the repository navigate in Explorer to the directory that you want the code downloaded to. Then right click in the folder and choose SVN Checkout... Enter one the SVN URL: https://nel.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/nel/trunk

What if the Subversion Server is Not Responding?

You have a few choices:

1. Funar maintains nightly snapshots of the NeL Source. The line breaks are in LF format so you may need to convert them to CRLF if you compile under Windows.
2. FishEye provides a nice tarball facility for downloading sources.

Snowballs Data

Snowballs data is now included in the Subversion tree! If you still require the data you can get it from the FileDownloads page. 

Legacy CVS Access

OpenNeL still provides access to the Nevrax CVS repository. For information on how to access this please see CvsDoc.
