How to access the SVN repository?

YACS is now a Google Code project and we benefit from a great SVN repository to manage all of the source code. http://code.google.com/p/yacs/ Follow this link to access the index page dedicated to YACS at the Google Code hosting site.

About Subversion

Subversion (SVN) is a version control system, that helps to track and manage changes in source code. Subversion is very well-known in the open source community and is used by many open source projects. Check the Wikipedia page on Subversion for more information. At the moment we manage the SVN tree with svnX (Mac OSX) and  TortoiseSVN (Windows) and you may find these tools quite handy too. Look at the Wikipedia page to find other tools of interest if you wish.

How to get accurate copies of YACS source code?

In order to access a SVN repository, you must install a special piece of software called a SVN client. SVN clients and plug-ins are available for most any operating system. Thanks to Google Code service the repository for this software can be checked out anonymously with the following instruction.

svn checkout http://yacs.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ yacs-read-only

How to browse the code tree?

The full code tree, including previous versions of files, is accessible from the web, with a simple browser, at following address: http://code.google.com/p/yacs/source/browse Browsing the code tree gives you a great view into the current status of this project's code. You may also view the complete histories of any file in the repository.

We switched from CVS to SVN recently

Please note that the previous CVS repository we had at SourceForge has been completely deprecated.
