Linden Lab doesn't yet provide live access to a central revision control repository for the viewer source code.  However, this is being considered.
== Unofficial repositories ==


== Request for proposals ==
Below are repositories maintained by individuals outside Linden Lab.  These repositories are not affiliated with Linden Lab in any way.


Below is a request for proposals for public Subversion repository hosting.
=== Debian ===
Git repository for packaging the viewer for Debian, Ubuntu, Arch and Gentoo (so far), maintained by Robin Cornelius


Requirements:
please see http://omvviewer.byteme.org.uk/ for details


*  High capacity, high availability anonymous read access, with corresponding SLA
=== Hippo OpenSim Viewer ===
*  Direct user management by Linden Lab (self-service add/remove/disable accounts)
SVN repository of the [http://mjm-labs.com/viewer Hippo OpenSim Viewer],
*  Self-service password changing for all individual account holders
a modified Second Life viewer targeted at [http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Main_Page OpenSim] users.
*  Minimum 40GB capacity
*  Ability to completely delete rogue revisions within one business day
*  Nightly backups
*  Real-time read access to all raw Subversion data files via ssh/sftp or other secure


Additional desirable features:
See http://forge.opensimulator.org/gf/project/opensim-viewer/scmsvn/?action=AccessInfo for details.
*  Integration with outside authentication system, either Kerberos or custom XML-RPC based system.
**  If relying on external authentication, user management still needed to provide authorization management
 
Proposals being accepted through February 9, 2007.
 
Please address responses to [mailto:robla@lindenlab.com Rob Lanphier at Linden Lab]
 
== Choices considered ==
 
*  [http://subversion.tigris.org/ Subversion] - default choice, and the obvious "safe" choice.  Pros: familiar to us, used by a lot of people  Cons: very centralized model; need to give people access to facilitate effective collaboration
*  [http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/ Mercurial] - bleeding edge choice.  Pros: Distributed model makes it easier for anyone to distribute patchsets off of the main codebase without needing a central host.  Much easier to maintain a private branch.  Cons: more complicated model, less familiar, much newer system
* [http://svk.bestpractical.com/view/HomePage svk] - a decentralized revision control system built on top of svn.
* Externally managed repository, via 3rd party site, such as [http://sourceforge.net sourceforge.net],  [http://Berlios.de Berlios.de], or similar.
