Development

Exiv2 is maintained in a publicly available subversion repository. There is a live list with the latest commits to the repository, and you can browse the source code online.

To check-out the current source code from the repository, you need a subversion client. If you use a command line client, change to the directory where you want to keep the source code and type:

$ svn checkout svn://dev.robotbattle.com/exiv2/trunk . 

To download the test data and test drivers for version 0.8 from the repository, change to your local exiv2-0.8 directory and use the following command:

$ svn export svn://dev.robotbattle.com/exiv2/tags/0.8/test
