This page describes how to obtain Axiom sources. Axiom can be accessed in a stable and unstable form. The stable (or gold) release is fully tested and should just work. The unstable (or silver) release is actually not really a release, but rather the developers edge. It is not expected that the silver distribution runs perfectly or even compiles at all. However, the developers take every effort to keep the silver release reasonably stable. There are also several testing branches, see below. 1 Stable (Gold)The stable release is avaiblable either via a direct source tarball or via access to CVS or TLA archives. See also BuildAxiom for further instructions of how to build the binaries yourself. 1.1 Tarball((Links to axiom-December-2005.tgz, axiom-December-2005.tar.bz2, axiom-December-2005.zip)) 1.2 CVSThe current Axiom source distribution is available via CVS at: You should use: cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.nongnu.org:/sources/axiom co axiom in order to get the sources to your computer. 1.3 GNU ArchA tla archive (GNU arch) can be obtained via: tla my-id "Your Name <your@email-address.com>" tla register-archive arch@axiom-developer.org--axiom http://www.axiom-developer.org/archive/axiom tla my-default-archive arch@axiom-developer.org--axiom tla get axiom--main--1 GoldenAxiom # later you would say the following in order to update cd GoldenAxiom tla update 2 Unstable (Silver)The silver release is turning into gold approximately every two months. An svn archive (Subversion) can be obtained via: svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/axiom/trunk SilverAxiom You find more details at AxiomSilverBranch. 3 TestingThere are several testing branches available. Some of them are TLA archives and some are SVN branches. 3.1 GNU ArchThe listing from http://arch.axiom-developer.org should be moved here. There appears an identical list also at ArchUsage which should be deleted there. There are several branches available. Each branch is used to develop a particular idea and get a stable, working version before merging it back to the main line. The currently available branches are:
3.2 SubversionYou find out about all branches by issuing the following command: svn list https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/axiom/branches Currently (01-Aug-2006) there are three branches:
