+ website
+ Added Harbour website (except art, docs and stat subdirs)
; TODO: configure automatic mechanism to extract site from
here and regularly updload to sf.net web area
; TODO: Clean HTML code, remove unused picture/files, avoid JS
Any takers?
; NOTE: Please make modifications to website code only in
SVN, then upload the content to web server manually.
IOW never update on web server directly.

|
<H2><A NAME="24"></A>3.4. Where can I find the source?</H2>
|
|
<p>There are three methods of getting the source for harbour, which method you
|
|
use will depend on how up-to-date you feel you need to be.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The unstable snapshot
|
|
<p>A snapshot of the source is made available on the
|
|
<A href="/download.htm">Harbour project download web page</A>. Please be aware that this is an <b>unstable</b>
|
|
snapshot. Using this source could make all sorts of horrible things happen
|
|
- it might not even compile. You have been warned.</p>
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>The stable snapshot
|
|
<p>Once in a while a stable snapshot of the Harbour source is made available
|
|
from the <A href="/download.htm">download page</A>
|
|
of the <A href="/">Harbour project web site</A>.
|
|
These snapshots are referred to as
|
|
"releases" and are considered stable in that the source will
|
|
compile and there are no known showstoppers in the compiler, virtual machine
|
|
or run-time library.</p>
|
|
<p>If you like to play with alpha quality software but want to feel safe doing
|
|
so then a stable release is for you.</p>
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Direct CVS access
|
|
<p>The best and most direct method of getting Harbour source is from the CVS
|
|
server. This is where the
|
|
<A HREF="harbour9.html#WhoDevelopers">Harbour developers</A>
|
|
work on the source for Harbour (actually, they all work on their own
|
|
machines, this server gives them, in effect, a virtual shared directory).</p>
|
|
<p>If you intend to work with Harbour built from the CVS itself you should
|
|
really consider subscribing to the
|
|
<A HREF="harbour35.html#DevMailList">developer's mailing list</A>.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Please note that if you do want to help develop Harbour then the last option
|
|
is the best option (and, in the long term, the only useful option for all
|
|
concerned).</p>
