Get Étoilé

VirtualBox Development Image

To make it easier to get started with Étoilé development, we have a VirtualBox image. This consists of an Ubuntu 9.04 installation with a snapshot of Étoilé trunk. The username and password are both etoile.

↓ Download VirtualBox image (June 10, 2009) (895MB)

VirtualBox 3.0 or greater is required.

To use, extract the archive, and choose "Import Appliance" from the File menu of VirtualBox. You will then have to select the .ovf file, and it will take a few minutes to import the VM image.

Source Code

Étoilé is developed in a subversion repository, located at svn://svn.gna.org/svn/etoile. There are three branches:

Étoilé trunk

Trunk is where development happens. This should work, but is likely to contain untested code. If you want to get involved with Étoilé development, run this branch.

You can check out a copy with the command:

$ svn co svn://svn.gna.org/svn/etoile/trunk/Etoile Etoile

Étoilé stable

Stable contains code that has been tested in trunk for a bit and been reviewed by someone other than its author. Stable is missing a lot of stuff that is in trunk but has not received enough testing to be imported yet. Please test this branch if you are interested in improving Étoilé.

Stable can be obtained with the command:

$ svn co svn://svn.gna.org/svn/etoile/stable Etoile

Releases

The release branches are fixed points in the tree. These are the most tested, and only contain things we are fairly confident work as advertised. A release is a snapshot of the stable tree at a given time. If you are packaging Étoilé, please pick the latest release.

The tarball with SVN metadata contains the .svn folders and can be used to seed a source tree. If you run svn up in the directory created by untarring one of these then it will update to the latest stable version.

LiveCD

The Étoilé LiveCD includes version 0.2, which is OBSOLETE. However, if you have a copy of the LiveCD already, the username and password are both etoile.

For the nostalgic, LiveCD 0.2 is available here (584MB)

Those interested in helping update the LiveCD can inquire here.
