Branches

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

  • 8.4.X (svn trunk): The stable version. Maintenance mode.
  • 8.3.4 (svn branches/GCOMPRIS_8_3): The stable version for Windows. This version exist only because I have not yet updated my build environment on Windows to support the gstreamer audio backend. Until I can build the 8.4 on Windows, I backport the main fixes and features from 8.4 in this branch.
  • 8.XO (svn branches/gcomprixo): This is the current OLPC XO branch. It's a major refactoring to allow us to provide independent activities to the OLPC project, and others.
  • 8.5 (svn branches/gcomprixogoo): This is based on the OLPC XO branch but uses the goocanvas instead of the gnome-canvas. This is where the new code is going.

Technology test:

  • svn branches/gcomprixogoo, based on gcomprixo branch, port of GCompris to use the goocanvas instead of the gnomecanvas+libart. Read the API here.

To get GCompris trunk from subversion:

svn co http://svn.gnome.org/svn/gcompris/trunk gcompris

To get GCompris development branch from subversion:

Packagers

GCompris is a large software which has numerous dependencies. We ask packagers to be very careful and follow this minimal and manual test process.
