# Obtaining RETRO
|
|
|
|
The RETRO source code can be obtained from http://forthworks.com/retro
|
|
or gopher://forthworks.com/1/retro
|
|
|
|
## Stable Releases
|
|
|
|
I periodically make stable releases. This will typically happen
|
|
two to four times per year. These are good for those needing a
|
|
solid base that doesn't change frequently.
|
|
|
|
## Snapshots
|
|
|
|
A lot of development happens between releases. I make snapshots
|
|
of my working source tree nightly (and often more often).
|
|
|
|
This is what I personally recommend for most users. It reflects
|
|
my latest system and is normally reliable as it's used daily in
|
|
production.
|
|
|
|
The latest snapshot can be downloaded from the following stable
|
|
URLs:
|
|
|
|
* http://forthworks.com/retro/r/latest.tar.gz
|
|
* gopher://forthworks.com/9/retro/r/latest.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
## Repository
|
|
|
|
I use a Fossil repository to manage development. To obtain a
|
|
copy of the repository install Fossil and:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
fossil clone http://forthworks.com:8000 retro.fossil
|
|
mkdir retro
|
|
cd retro
|
|
fossil open /path/to/retro.fossil
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See the Fossil documentation for details on using Fossil to
|
|
keep your local copy of the repository current.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
If you have problems, check the version of Fossil you are
|
|
using. I am currently using Fossil 2.7, you may experience
|
|
issues checking out or cloning if using older versions.
