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:
    • release (trunk): https://svn.secondlife.com/svn/linden/release
    • maintenance: https://svn.secondlife.com/svn/linden/branches/maintenance
    • Released preview (ex. Branch_1-19-1-Viewer-RC0): https://svn.secondlife.com/svn/linden/previews/Branch_1-19-1-Viewer-RC0
    • RC branch (ex. Branch_1-19-1-Viewer): https://svn.secondlife.com/svn/linden/branches/Branch_1-19-1-Viewer
    • Feature branch (ex. dazzle): https://svn.secondlife.com/svn/linden/branches/dazzle/

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.

Unofficial repositories

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

Cafuego

Cafuego's Edgy Stuff v1.0

Linux Alpha and Firstlook clients, packaged for Linux Ubuntu Edgy on i386.

Debian

Git repository for packaging the viewer for Debian (but also useful to Ubuntu users)

git.debian.org/git/pkg-games/slviewer.git

git.debian.org/git/pkg-games/slviewer-artwork.git

SVN Versions do not correspond to Viewer Versions

The internal version numbering used in the SVN has no relationship to the version numbers used in the public client binary releases, and consequently it is difficult to easily find particular source releases in the repository without doing some manual cross-referencing. The recommended way to access the source is via downloadable source packages, but if it desired to access these releases directly in the SVN, the list below may be of assistance.
