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:
  1. 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).
  2. In the client, select a database directory. Click on "Remote projects".
  3. As server name, enter "superversion.org". Click "Connect".
  4. Choose "Superversion", then "Check out".
  5. Select a local project name, then "Check out". Hit "Add work area..." and choose the directory where you want the sources installed.
  6. In the default marker dialog, just press "Choose" without selecting anything.
  7. 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).
  8. 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".
  9. 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.
  1. Install Ant and add the bin directory to your system path
  2. Download the Superversion sources as explained above
  3. Copy lib/junit.jar from the Superversion tree to the lib directory of your Ant installation
  4. Change to the Superversion base directory and type "ant". Ant will try to compile and run Superversion.
