| − | * 3. The various KDE modules have tags so it is possible to get a specifc release of KDE. Most KDE modules have a tag name in the format tags/KDE/X.Y.Z (where X, Y and Z represent the exact version). The arts module has a different format of tag name, tags/arts/X.Y.Z. [http://websvn.kde.org/tags/ WebSVN] is a convenient way to check for a tag name. For instance to get KDE 3.4's kdelibs, use: '''svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/tags/KDE/3.4.0/kdelibs/'''. | + | * 3.

For those of us that like to stay on the "bleeding edge" there's an easy way to keep a local copy of the KDE sources up-to-date. No more trying to log on to ftp.kde.org to get the latest snapshot. No more wandering aimlessly through mirrors looking for one that's up to date. Just a simple command line operation to get up-to-the-minute source updates. Just use anonymous SVN.
Using anonymous SVN is simple:
svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdelibs svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdebase
NOTE: Only use "co" for the initial checkout. please update your local sources afterwards by using "svn up modulename".
NOTE: If your firewall doesn't allow access to arbitrary ports, you want to substitute svn://anonsvn.kde.org/ with svn://anonsvn.kde.org:443/ above.
svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/tags/KDE/3.4.0/kdelibs/.
If you then want to update to KDE 3.4.1, use this command:
svn switch svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/tags/KDE/3.4.1/kdelibs.
