4.11. Subversion (SVN) client (optional)
The Wireshark project uses its own Subversion (or short
SVN) server to keep track of all the changes done to the source
code. Details about the usage of Subversion in the Wireshark
project can be found in
Section 3.2, “The Wireshark Subversion repository”.
If you want to work with the source code and are planning to
commit your changes back to the Wireshark community, it is
recommended to use a SVN client to get the latest source files.
For detailed information about the different ways to obtain the
Wireshark sources, see
Section 3.3, “Obtain the Wireshark sources”.
You will find more instructions in
Section 3.3.1, “Anonymous Subversion access” on how to use the Subversion
client.
