Subversion Repository

OCaml is developed using the Subversion (SVN) version control system. Public read-only access to our Subversion repository is available. It enables advanced users to track changes and bug-fixes in real-time, without having to wait for the next release.

Bugs can be reported and followed on Mantis.

There is also a read-only mirror on GitHub, which is automatically synchronized with the official SVN repository on a regular basis.

Accessing the repository

The address of the repository is http://caml.inria.fr/svn. To check out a local, working copy of the sources:

svn checkout http://caml.inria.fr/svn/dir

where dir is the subdirectory of interest (see table below).

To update a local working copy with our latest changes:

svn update

If you are not familiar with Subversion commands, see the documentation.

If you do not need a local copy of the sources but just wish to see changes and their history, you can also browse the repository via a Web interface.

Repository structure

Directory (dir)	Contents
`ocaml/trunk`	The development version of OCaml. It will become the next major release. Not very stable; use at your own risk.
`ocaml/version/`X`.`YY	The bug-fix branch for the major release number X`.`YY (e.g. `3.11`). Minor releases are culled from this branch. Only bug-fixes and minor extensions are performed in this branch, but not incompatible changes. Recommended for advanced users who wish to track bug fixes.
`ocaml/branches/`	Various branches containing experiments or extensions to OCaml, e.g. `ocaml/branches/jocamltrunk` for JoCaml. Many of the experimental branches have been folded in the development sources. To explore the contents, use `svn list` or browse the repository
