Subversion Repository Access

In an ongoing effort to accelerate development of Scala, and provide an open development environment, our Subversion (SVN) source repository can be freely accessed in read-only mode.

Accessing the SVN Repository

The Scala Subversion repository can be browsed online, as part of our live Trac website. The current Scala source code can be browsed on this page; you will be able to browse all the source code without having to install Subversion itself.

If you have Subversion installed, and you prefer to download the live source code on your machine, the command you should use is the following:

$ svn co http://lampsvn.epfl.ch/svn-repos/scala/scala/trunk scala

You can of course use other SVN clients, like the Subclipse plugin for the Eclipse IDE, or the multi-platform SmartSVN client.

Once you have succesfully downloaded the Scala source code, you can then build the Scala system from the source by following these instructions.
