Most users of the source code probably don't need to have day to day access to the source code as it changes. For these users we provide easy to unpack source code downloads via our download pages.
For information on connecting to the ASF Subversion repositories, see the version control page.
Subversion is an open-source version control system. The root url of the ASF Subversion repository is http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ for non-committers and https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ for committers.
NOTE: When checking out a subproject using subversion, ensure that you are checking out a tag, a branch or trunk (the main-line) and not all tags and branches, to avoid filling up your hard-disk and wasting bandwidth.
NOTE: See this Subversion information page for a brief description of the relationship be tween URL tuples such as trunks-proper and proper.
If you are not a Committer, but you want to submit patches or even request commit privileges, please see our Guidelines for more information.
