SVN

Wesnoth development currently uses the Subversion software tool to keep developers in sync with each other. See the SVN book for more on how to use Subversion.

Note: Wesnoth is moving to git. This informtion may be obsolete by the time you read it!

Browse the code

There are currently two main streams of development: trunk (1.11.x) and stable branch (1.10.x). Most other branches are only used for a short time to do some testing without disturbing the main development. You can use your web browser to navigate through the source code:

http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/wesnoth/

Download

To check out trunk into a directory called wesnoth (about 400 MB to download as of March 30th 2009, and about 1.3 GB disk space required, including .svn dirs, as of June 17th 2012):

svn co http://svn.gna.org/svn/wesnoth/trunk wesnoth

Or, to check out the 1.10 branch (about 400 MB to download and 960 MB to store on disk as of March 30th 2009; by extrapolation, probably around 1.3 GB too by June 17th 2012) into a directory called wesnoth-1.10:

svn co http://svn.gna.org/svn/wesnoth/branches/1.10 wesnoth-1.10

More info on the repository: https://gna.org/svn/?group=wesnoth

Commit access

For commit access, you must have a developer account on gna, it must be registered as part of the Wesnoth group, and you must check out with

svn co svn+ssh://gna_username@svn.gna.org/svn/wesnoth/trunk wesnoth

Do this from inside the wesnoth or wesnoth-1.10 directory where you checked out the repository:
