Since March 2006 Phex is using Subversion to replace CVS as a version control system.

What is Subversion

Subversion is a free/open-source version control system. That is, Subversion manages files and directories over time. A tree of files is placed into a central repository. The repository is much like an ordinary file server, except that it remembers every change ever made to your files and directories. This allows you to recover older versions of your data, or examine the history of how your data changed. In this regard, many people think of a version control system as a sort of "time machine".

Accessing Phex sources

The Phex sourcecode is hosted at Sourceforge.

You can access the current Phex development sources with a Subversion client of your choice. For Windows users we recommend to use TortoiseSVN. In Gentoo-Linux you can simply emerge svn.

To checkout the the most current development sources use the path: https://phex.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/phex/phex/trunk

The according Subversion command line call would be:

svn co https://phex.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/phex/phex/trunk phex

The next step would be to build Phex from the sources. Read the guide Build Phex from Subversion to learn more on how to build Phex.

To update to the most recent version of the Phex sources after some time use:

svn update

More detailed information about Subversion usage on sourceforge can be found int the sourceforge documentations.

Get notification of source changes

If you like to get notified when there are new changes in the repository, you can subscribe to the mailing list phex-svn or just look into it's archives.

You can also use the CIA realtime activity view as an RSS feed from the Phex homepage or directly at http://cia.vc/stats/project/Phex.
