Because the LAM Team tries very hard to release stable and
as-bug-free-as-possible distributions, we tend to take a long time
between major releases. However, there are many useful new features
(and bug fixes) in our internal Subversion tree that some users have
asked for access to. Additionally, for those who are actually develop
with the internals LAM/MPI, Subversion access gives the most
up-to-date versions rather than the periodic tarball access. As such,
the LAM Team has decided to provide read-only access to the LAM/MPI
Subversion tree.
Be aware, however, that the Subversion checkouts are not
guaranteed to be stable. For the most part, we try very hard to not
check in things that are broken, but this is an active development
tree -- bugs happen. This is actually another major reason that this
tree has been made available: peer review. If you find any bugs,
please report them! Contributions, suggestions, and comments
are welcome.
The Subversion "trunk" is the current development version of
LAM/MPI. It is where all new LAM/MPI work is done. The
branches/7.1 branch can be used for access to the latest
stable version of LAM/MPI.
There are two flavors of Subversion access available. The first
is to perform an anonymous checkout of the source. The second is to
download a nightly Subversion snapshot tarball. The nightly tarball
does not contain the Subversion metadata (ie, you can not run
'svn update' later), but does not require the GNU Auto
tools to build. The nightly tarball is a snapshot of the Subversion
trunk.
Also be sure to see what's available in the
Subversion copy that's not in the current stable release.
Nightly Subversion Snapshot Tarballs
The nightly tarballs listed below are automatically created - no
testing is done to make sure the code actually compiles or works.
These exist mainly for people without access to our Subversion server
or the GNU Auto tools.
Anonymous Subversion Checkout
VERY IMPORTANT:
Before you try to compile LAM, read the Notes on the LAM/MPI Subversion tree
page.
Be sure to see the requirements
page for information on the necessary software to obtain and
compile a Subversion snapshot of LAM/MPI.
If you don't already have it, you need at least version 1.0.0 of
the Subversion client, which can be downloaded from the Subversion web site. You can
then directly check out the LAM/MPI trunk, where most development work
is done:
shell$ svn co https://svn.osl.iu.edu/svn/trillium/trunk trillium
[... lots of output ...]
Alternatively, you can check out one of the branches or tags:
shell$ svn list https://svn.osl.iu.edu/svn/trillium/branches
branch-6-5/
branch-7-0/
branch-7-1/
[... and some others ...]
shell$ svn co https://svn.osl.iu.edu/svn/trillium/branches/branch-7-1
[... lots of output ...]
