Anonymous SVN for RRDtool

RRDtool source is stored in a subversion repository with anonymous access.

Browse the RRDtool SVN via RRDtrac. Or if you want todo more than look ...

svn ls -R svn://svn.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/

tells you what is in the repository. Normally, development will happen in the "trunk" directory. Every major release gets an entry in the "branches" tree, and every released version get added to the "tags" tree.

If you checkout code from the subversion repository, you will find that the configure script is missing. You get this generated by running: ./MakeMakefile ... note that you will need automake, autoconf and libtool installed for this to work.

If you fix a bug, I would love to see the output of 'svn diff'.

Starting with rrdtool 1.3rc1, make sure to run ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode prior before 'makeing' modified source, to ensure that all bits get properly rebuilt.

To get the latest changes from the current 1.2 branch use this:

svn checkout svn://svn.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/branches/1.2/program
mv program rrdtool-1.2
cd rrdtool-1.2
./MakeMakefile
