Version control repository

Linden Lab runs an official Subversion repository that contains occasional snapshots from the internal Linden Lab source repository.

Using the repository

• Create a location on your hard drive to check out the code (e.g. Linden Lab developers generally use $HOME/linden)
• Select which branch you'd like to check out. See the tracker to browse currently-active branches, and source branches for an explanation. For example:
  • Trunk: https://svn.secondlife.com/svn/linden/trunk
  • RC branch: https://svn.secondlife.com/svn/linden/branches/viewer_1-23
  • Viewer Maintenance: https://svn.secondlife.com/svn/linden/branches/maint-viewer
  • Render Maintenance: https://svn.secondlife.com/svn/linden/branches/render-pipeline
  • Featurettes!: https://svn.secondlife.com/svn/linden/branches/featurettes
  • Interop: https://svn.secondlife.com/svn/linden/branches/interop-9
  • l10n: https://svn.secondlife.com/svn/linden/branches/maint-l10n-1
  • Shadows and Texture Projection: https://svn.secondlife.com/svn/linden/branches/render-pipeline

Write access

Developers that have signed and submitted a contribution agreement are eligible (not guaranteed) for write access to the repository. Other considerations, such as patches submitted and reasons access is requested will also come into play.

Note that your checkout must be based off an https:// URL, not http:// if you wish to commit, otherwise you will get an unfriendly 500 warning. This is done to avoid plaintext password exchanges. If you need to convert an existing checkout from http to https, investigate "svn switch --relocate" for command-line svn, or the "relocate" context menu in TortoiseSVN.
