Getting Source Code

• CASA code is stored in the NRAO Subversion server. Code is organized in the change control server as follows:

  active

  contains new features and bug fixes. All new code is checked in to the active area.

  test

  contains code from active that passes a short list of end-to-end tests.

  stable

  contains code from test that passes a longer list of end-to-end tests.

To brows code, see view active, view test, or view stable.

To checkout code, use the URL https://svn.cv.nrao.edu/svn/casa/. If you are new to Subversion, read the Subversion High-Speed Tutorial first.

To check in code, you must be a member of the CASA development team.

Finding a Computer to Build On

In addition to computers assigned to individual developers, CASA has several computers that are shared, but use primarily to support build/test/release.
