<p><span class="h1">Obtaining RETRO</span>
<br/><br/>
<span class="h2">Stable Releases</span>
<br/><br/>
I periodically make stable releases. This will typically happen
quarterly.
<br/><br/>
&bull; http://forthworks.com/retro<br/>
&bull; http://forth.works<br/>
<br/><br/>
<span class="h2">Snapshots</span>
<br/><br/>
A lot of development happens between releases. I make snapshots
of my working source tree nightly (and often more often).
<br/><br/>
The latest snapshot can be downloaded from the following stable
URLs:
<br/><br/>
&bull; http://forthworks.com/retro/r/latest.tar.gz<br/>
&bull; gopher://forthworks.com/9/retro/r/latest.tar.gz<br/>
<br/><br/>
<span class="h2">Fossil Repository</span>
<br/><br/>
I use a Fossil repository to manage development. To obtain a
copy of the repository install Fossil and:
<br/><br/>
<tt class='indentedcode'>fossil&nbsp;clone&nbsp;http://forthworks.com:8000&nbsp;retro.fossil</tt>
<tt class='indentedcode'>mkdir&nbsp;retro</tt>
<tt class='indentedcode'>cd&nbsp;retro</tt>
<tt class='indentedcode'>fossil&nbsp;open&nbsp;/path/to/retro.fossil</tt>
<br/><br/>
See the Fossil documentation for details on using Fossil to
keep your local copy of the repository current.
<br/><br/>
This will let you stay current with my latest changes faster
than the snapshots, but you may occasionally encounter bigger
problems as some commits may be in a partially broken state.
<br/><br/>
If you have problems, check the version of Fossil you are
using. I am currently using Fossil 2.10, you may experience
issues checking out or cloning if using older versions.
<br/><br/>
<span class="h2">git Repository</span>
<br/><br/>
There is now a read-only mirror of the fossil repository
provided via git. This is hosted on sr.ht.
<br/><br/>
<tt class='indentedcode'>git&nbsp;clone&nbsp;https://git.sr.ht/~crc_/retroforth</tt>
<br/><br/>
<span class="h2">Notes</span>
<br/><br/>
I personally recommend using either a recent snapshot or a
build from one of the repositories. This will reflect the
latest system as I use it, and are normally reliable as I
run them daily for my production systems.
