Version Control and Getting the code:

We host the project at sourceforget.net at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/megaglest/


Download the latest full version from here ( source/data/binarys ):

https://sourceforge.net/projects/megaglest/files/current_release/

Or the hottest staff by running the following command from a commandline:

svn co https://megaglest.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/megaglest/trunk megaglest

Project folder layout:

This will check out the trunk directory, which is where active development takes place in. Each release is 'tagged' and a copy resides in the tags directory, so if you wanted an older release you would check out something below

https://megaglest.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/megaglest/tags/

instead. Just use your web browser to click on this URL and see which ones are available.

Branches are created in the branches subdirectory when required to seperate larger changes from active / stable development, so replace 'trunk' by 'branches' and check with your web brower which ones are available if this is your intention.
