Possibility 1: checkout code from CVS
Why?CVS checkout is for you if you are a developer of Bitweaver and contribute code, or if you're keen to see whats cookin ... the sooner-or-later-to-be-released code of Bitweaver and its packages.
How: CVS checkout details
Please note that you might have to apply database updates manually: SchemaChangelog
- anonymous access (anybody can checkout)
- uses a mirrored CVS and has a 24h code delay with the :ext: method indicated below
- cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@bitweaver.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bitweaver co bitweaver
- developer access (see members of the bitweaver project)
- make sure you "export CVS_RSH=ssh" in your /etc/profile or CVS shell first
- cvs -d :ext:yourusername@bitweaver.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bitweaver co bitweaver
- to get a release version specify it like so. Note that the upcoming release R3 is on HEAD right now:
- cvs -d :ext:yourusername@bitweaver.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bitweaver co -r R1 bitweaver
- to get the latest and greatest from cvs HEAD, don't use any tags at all:
- cvs -d :ext:yourusername@bitweaver.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bitweaver co bitweaver
If you are unfamiliar with cvs download the one page cvs manual and print out a collated copy for your desk. It works well as manual and beer coaster. Visit bitweaverCVS for details on how our CVS is structured.
Possibility 2: download from /builds directory
Why?Downloading an archive from our /builds directory is for you if you want to get the latest official release or if you want to download weekly builds - beta versions of Bitweaver.
How?
In our /builds directory you find weekly releases that are built by hand at arbitrary points when the codebase is pretty stable. It is always advised to get the most recent possible. Weekly builds are not production ready, but should be reliable enough to install and get familiar with the Bitweaver Framework. The /builds directory also holds the latest (and previous) official releases.
Possibility 3: download from Sourceforge
Why?Downloading from Sourceforge is for you if you want to get the latest official release of Bitweaver. Sourceforge is fast and reliable.
How?
Download a zip from this Sourceforge page, where the latest official releases are posted.
