The glFusion project utilizes SourceForge.net's Subversion Source Code Repository system to store all project source code.

You can easily browse through the source repository by using the web-based viewer. The glFusion project is broken down into multiple branches:

trunk/ - contains the latest development code

releases/ - contains each production release

There may be other branches that are used from time to time by developers working on major code changes.

You can monitor the code changes by subscribing to the glFusion SVN mailing list. Each time code is checked into the source repository an email documenting the changes will be sent to the mailing list.

You can participate in glFusion development discussions by subscribing to the glFusion development mailing list. This list, in addition to the Tracker and the development forums is a great place to get involved with the project.

Anonymous read access is allowed, so anyone can checkout the latest source code. To checkout the current development branch of glFusion use the following command:

svn co https://glfusion.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/glfusion/glfusion/trunk glfusion

This will create a directory called glfusion on your local system with the latest development branch. If you are using Subversion in the Windows environment, after installing a client like Tortoise SVN, simply right-click in an Explorer window and choose SVN Checkout from the context menu to load glFusion in the directory of your choice.

If you are interested in helping with the testing of the current development code, please visit the How to Help With Testing page.

We also maintain another source code repository at SourceForge for all of the community developed plugins. You can also use the web-based viewer to browse through the latest code. To checkout source code from gl Labs Community Projects, use the following commands:

svn co https://gllabs.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gllabs/##PLUGINNAMEHERE##/ ##PLUGINNAME##

Replace the ##PLUGINNAMEHERE## with the name of the plugin you wish to checkout.

We try to keep the current development branch in working order, however this might not always be the case. Specifically, the version number for the development branch does not change during the development process so any database upgrades needed by the development code may have to be applied manually.

Windows users may want to download and install Tortoise SVN, a Windows Subversion client that integrates directly into Windows XP Explorer and makes using Subversion very simple.
