E-mailThe Sakai Foundation and Community issues new versions of the Sakai Collaboration and Learning Environment (CLE) software on a regular basis. To obtain the latest Sakai demo, binary or source distribution visit the Sakai release site:
http://source.sakaiproject.org/release/
The Sakai Community manages its source code utilizing the open-source Subversion (SVN) version control system. Sakai source code is also available from our SVN repository located at
https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/
The latest development work is located in /sakai/trunk; stable releases can be retrieved from the {/sakai/tags}} folder organized by release version. Maintenance branches may be created in the /sakai/branches folder for additional work on current or previous tagged releases.
Trunk: https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/sakai/trunk/
Tags: https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/sakai/tags
Branches: https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/sakai/branches/
In addition, Sakai's SVN repository includes a number of projects that are not included in official Sakai releases that can be checked out and installed in the Sakai CLE. Code for these projects (known within the Sakai Community as contributed or "contrib" projects) is located at the following address:
Contrib: https://source.sakaiproject.org/contrib/
Once you have installed an SVN client you can check out Sakai source code (in the case below, trunk) by issuing the following command from a terminal window:
svn co https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/sakai/trunk/ trunk
2-5-x Maintenance Branch
The latest bug fixes for a particular release can be found in our maintenance branches. Please note that certain maintenance branch fixes require database schema changes; see the Sakai Confluence Wiki 2-5-x branch summary for more information.
You can download the branch by issuing the following SVN command from a terminal window:
svn co https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/sakai/branches/sakai_2-5-x/ sakai_2-5-x
