Subversion is no unknown quantity anymore, well maybe on NetBeans. It just takes some time until it gains a better foothold. Having worked with Subversion for 18 months now I prefer it to CVS by far. You can always get the sources using the official command-line client that comes with Subversion: http://subversion.tigris.org/ http://subversion.tigris.org/project_packages.html If you are on Windows, there is an excellent graphical SVN client called TortoiseSVN which plugs into the Windows Explorer: http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ A full list of clients and plugin is available under: http://subversion.tigris.org/project_links.html But it seems that you're currently out of luck with NetBeans. > Does it also mean that I cannot build 0.20.5 from sources without a > subversion client? If you're really talking about 0.20.5 then I'd say you can download the source distribution. If you're talking about the maintenance branch, then yes, at the moment, you need a Subversion client. It should also by possible to download the sources using a generic WebDAV client which supports anonymous access (which Windows XP apparently doesn't). If people want it we can see to it that the nightly snapshots that we had for CVS are also available for SVN, but that service bas primarily for people who had firewall restrictions and couldn't download using CVS. Since SVN uses the HTTP protocol no such firewall problems are to be expected.
