Where do I download the source???
« on: February 17, 2010, 11:02:40 PM »
Moderators: Go ahead and move this if you need to. I'm pretty lost here.

I have spent the past half hour looking for the source code for the current build. I used to be able to simply get the archive off the website. Where has it moved to. I am really getting annoyed here. I go away for a month and I can't find anything.  ???

I don't think we have the source archive anymore.  Instead you should use SVN, see the developers page on the wiki, or try the "Contributing to Rockbox" link.  Theres guides to using SVN if you're not familiar with it.

Well thanks. I guess I'll switch to SVN. But is there a reason that there aren't any more archives available from the site?

I think mostly because no one bothers to maintain them anymore.

...and people downloading them for every build used an enormous amount of bandwidth. Svn is far more efficient since only the initial download is huge - subsequent updates are of course tiny.

Also, we still provide the full sources for each release if you really insist on getting a tarball.
