About Stable Packages

Stable packages are for general use and are tested on several platforms before being released. Most people should be using stable packages.

About Release Candidates

As OME approaches a new release, release candidates (RC's) are distributed for general user testing. While this is development code and should not be used in production environments, it is stable and should be treated as such. All RC's in a given series will be forward compatible with both subsequent RC's and the stable releases of that series. This is to encourage users to test RC's.

About Unstable/Snapshot Packages

Unstable/CVS snapshot packages are for developer and testing use only. They are not for general consumption and should not be used in production environments. If you wish to experiment and test new features, use a RC. If in doubt use a stable package.

CVS tree

Current Web CVS

CVS is a way of storing and tracking changes in the code between releases. It always has the latest code and bug fixes, but with releases coming every other week, most people can wait for the release to get a given fix. Here's step-by-step instructions for how to check out OME from CVS. You need, of course, to have cvs installed (version 1.11).

OME Snapshots for Developers

Current server infrastructure and web interface snapshot:	2.3.x
Previous snapshots:	Archive

Checking out the source anonymously:

Run the following commands in a directory that you have write access to (such as your home directory):

$ cvs -d ':pserver:anoncvs@cvs.openmicroscopy.org.uk:/ome' login
(Enter "anoncvs" for the password)
$ cvs -z3 -d ':pserver:anoncvs@cvs.openmicroscopy.org.uk:/ome' checkout OME

*** Important *** Please be aware that when you install using a CVS checkout Autotools (specifically Automake/Autoconf) are required. More information can be found here.

Updating your source tree:

When there are changes to OME's code, you'll want to update your local copy. You don't have to remove the entire directory that you checked out and redo the whole thing; instead, from inside the directory, run:

$ cvs update -d
