Branches

We use git for our development. Currently, the active branches are:

• 8.4.X (git master): WARNING: No more maintained version.
• 9.X (git origin/gcomprixogoo): Current version. This is where the new code is going.

To get GCompris current branch from subversion:

cd gcompris
git checkout -b gcomprixogoo origin/gcomprixogoo
sh autogen.sh && make
