This page is intended to track the progress of the new build and install system.

The new build and install system work is being done on an svn branch named “new-build-system”. You can browse it online at

http://fossology.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/fossology/branches/new-build-system/

Access to the source code is available using Subversion (svn).

To checkout the branch source code:

svn co https://fossology.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/fossology/branches/new-build-system/

If you want a current diff of the branch to the trunk you can generate one with

svn diff https://fossology.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/fossology/trunk/fossology/ https://fossology.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/fossology/branches/new-build-system/

but that seems to be pretty slow, I usually check out both the trunk and branch and just diff them.
