Getting the Spicebird Source
The Spicebird source code is available for download in two forms - the release tarballs as well as the Subversion repository.
Downloading Release Tarballs
This form of download is best for the users who want to build Spicebird of a particular release and who do not intend to do large code contribution to Spicebird. The tarballs include everything corresponding to the respective releases but do not include the latest development work.
The source tarballs for all releases are available for download from http://www.spicebird.org/pub/spicebird.
Getting source from the Subversion Repository
Subversion repository is primarily intended for the developers and hackers who want to play with the latest developments in Spicebird.
To checkout the bleeding edge source code of Spicebird (to a folder named collab):
$ svn co https://svn.spicebird.org/repos/collab/trunk collab
There are also many branches and tags which you might want to use when you checkout the source. A list of available branches and tags can be seen at https://svn.spicebird.org/viewvc/collab.
For example, to checkout the source code corresponding to the Spicebird Beta 0.4 release to a folder named collab-0.4:
$ svn co https://svn.spicebird.org/repos/collab/tag/0.4 collab-0.4
