CVS Repository

Synchronet source code and some third-party dependencies are stored in a version control database (repository) using a ubiquitous software system called CVS.

Anonymous access, for current source code or previous releases by label, is available to the following repositories:

• cvs.synchro.net:/cvsroot/sbbs
• cvs-mirror.synchro.net:/cvsroot/sbbs

Required modules for building Synchronet:

• src-sbbs3 (alias for several modules)
• One of the following module aliases (for required third-party libraries):
  • lib-win32 (for Windows)
  • lib (for all other supported platforms)

Required modules for running Synchronet (if you don't already have Synchronet installed):

• run-sbbs3 (alias for several modules)

Example labels (for checking-out a specific release):

• sbbs300c
• sbbs310k
• sbbs314a

NOTE: If you really want to build an old release, you'll probably have better luck downloading a source archive (e.g. ssrc314a.zip or ssrc314a.tgz) from ftp://vert.synchro.net/ and building that instead as some deprecated files may have been removed from the CVS repository since.

CVS command-line example:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.synchro.net:/cvsroot/sbbs co src-sbbs3 lib
