## Source Repository

We store the project's source code in a revision control system called Subversion. Developers have write access to the repository, enabling them to make changes to the source code. Everyone else has read-access to the repository. Thus, anyone can check out latest development version of the software. Note that the latest version in the repository may not work as expected. It may even not compile. If you are looking for a stable release, then download an official distribution.

There are several ways to access the Subversion repository:

## Web Access

If you just wish to browse around or download a few individual files, you can do so with web-based ViewVC interface:

http://svn.qos.ch/viewvc/logback/trunk/

## Checking out a read-only copy

To access the Subversion repositories anonymously, you will need a Subversion client. You can check out the logback project source code with the following command:

svn co http://svn.qos.ch/repos/logback/trunk/ target_directory

Note that anonymous access allows read-only access. For read-write access, please contact the logback developer list .
