<h1>The Vim SVN repository</h1>
<b>NOTE: Vim 7.3 is not in SVN, use
<a href="<?=$BASE?>/mercurial.php">Mercurial</a>
instead</b>
<p>
Vim up to 7.2.446 can be obtained using
<a href='http://www.subversion.org'>Subversion</a>
(SVN for short).
Subversion allows developers to maintain a single, controlled source
tree with multiple check-outs of individual files.
</p>
<p>
If you don't know how to use Subversion, you'll probably want to look
at the documentation. It is similar to CVS, but includes many
enhancements.
</p>
<h1>Browsing the Vim sources</h1>
<p>
You can browse the Subversion repository
<a href='http://vim.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/vim/vim7/'>online at SourceForge</a>.
This shows the most recent version of the files in "vim7".
You can view diffs to find out what the latest changes are.
</P>
<P>
Documentation on accessing the repository can be found on the
<a href='http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=31070&group_id=1'>SourceForge documentation page</a>.
<p>
<h1>Obtaining Vim through Subversion</h1>
<p>
These are the simple instructions how to obtain the Vim files through SVN.
Use this when you have a reasonable fast internet connection and want to
compile Vim yourself.
It should work well on any system that supports SVN.
</p>
<p id='update_freq'>
<strong>Note:</strong> The SVN repository is updated regularly,
but not immediately. Vim's SVN repository may be a few days
behind the head of development. For information on patching
Vim with the most up-to-date
patches, consult the
<a href='/download.php#patches'>information on patches</a>
</p>
<h2>Doing it for the first time</h2>
Go to a directory where you want the Vim source tree to appear. Use this
command to get the latest stable version of Vim (it is one line):
<p>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td>
<code>svn co https://vim.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vim/vim7</code>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>
This will create the "vim7" directory and download all the Vim files and
subdirectories into it.
<br>
You may get a warning about the certificate not being valid or untrusted.
You'll have to accept the certificate somehow (how depends on your svn client).
Complain to SourceForge if this bothers you.
<P>
Read the "vim/README.txt" file for how to compile Vim.
For Unix it's simply "cd vim/src; make".
<P>
<h2>Updating</h2>
Recent patches appear all the time. Change into the "vim7" directory and
include the changes with this single command:
<p>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td>
<code>svn update</code>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>
You will get messages for all directories that are inspected and files that are
being updated.
<P>
<h2>Unstable versions</h2>
There are other versions available in the SVN reposository. Currently there is
no unstable version. If there was you would get this with:
<p>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td>
<code>svn co https://vim.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vim/branches/vim7.x</code>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>
To find out what other versions are available, use a browser to view
<a href="https://vim.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vim/branches/">https://vim.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vim/branches/</a>.
