Subversion Access
You can obtain the latest Prelude source tree using the open source version control system Subversion. Be warned that it contains development code which might be unstable, and may not even compile properly. The advantage of using Subversion, though, is that you can get the latest fixes and updates, without having to wait for the official releases.
The module you wish to check out must be specified as modulename.
- Checking out the development branch
svn checkout http://svn.prelude-ids.org/modulename/trunk
- Developer Access
Same rules as Anonymous Subversion access apply, but developer need to use https. Subversion will prompt you for a password if you request an operation that require write access to the repository.
