Sakai Code Repository
The Sakai Community manages its source code utilizing the Subversion (SVN) source control management system. Sakai source code is available at
https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/
The latest development work is located in /sakai/trunk; stable releases can be found in /sakai/tags. Maintenance branches also exist in /sakai/branches for applying bug fixes to current or previous tagged releases.
Trunk: https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/sakai/trunk/
Tags: https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/sakai/tags/
Branches: https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/sakai/branches/
In addition, Sakai's SVN repository includes a number of projects that are not included in official Sakai releases that can be checked out and installed in the Sakai CLE. Code for these projects (known within the Sakai Community as contributed or "contrib" projects) is located at the following address:
Contrib: https://source.sakaiproject.org/contrib/
You can check out the source code directly from SVN. You might wish to do this, for example, in order to grab the maintenance branch, which includes the latest set of bug fixes. You must first install Subversion (binary or source) or a Subversion client package appropriate for your operating system. SVN Packages can be found at http://subversion.tigris.org/project_packages.html. If you're on a Windows platform we also recommend that you take a look at TortoiseSVN. If you're working with Eclipse, you might want to take a look at the Subclipse plugin.
Once you have installed your SVN client, check out the release into a local folder with the following command:
2.6 release tags
Stable Sakai 2.6 release tags are available at
https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/sakai/tags/
To checkout a tag issue the following svn command from the terminal:
svn co https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/sakai/tags/sakai-2.6.0/ sakai-2.6.0
2-6-x maintenance branch
The latest bug fixes for a particular release can be found in our maintenance branches. Please note that certain maintenance branch fixes require database schema changes; see the Sakai Confluence Wiki 2-6-x branch summary for more information. You can check out the maintenance branch by issuing the following command from the terminal:
svn co https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/sakai/branches/sakai_2-6-x/ sakai_2-6-x
2.6 Contributed (Contrib) projects
Additional capabilities provided by Sakai Community members are available as "contrib" projects. These projects range from prototype efforts to mature tool and service releases such as the Universidade Fernando Pessoa's SiteStats tool or Etudes' Melete Lesson Builder tool.
The Contrib repo is located at
https://source.sakaiproject.org/contrib/
Before installing a "contrib" tool check its release notes to confirm that it's Sakai common services dependencies have been updated to bind to the new kernel. Contrib tool information can also be found in Sakai's Confluence wiki.
Adding a 2.6-compatible contrib tool to your build is usually a straightforward process. For example, to add SiteStats to you Sakai build checkout the latest release tag into your sakai-2.6.0 base folder:
cd sakai-2.6.0 svn co https://source.sakaiproject.org/contrib/ufp/sitestats/tags/sitestats_2-0-rc1/ sitestats
Edit SiteStats' base pom file sitestats/pom.xml updating the <parent> pom's <version> value to the appropriate Sakai version:
<!-- Parent: Sakai master pom --> <parent> <artifactId>master</artifactId> <groupId>org.sakaiproject</groupId> <!-- EDIT ME: Sakai Version --> <version>2.6.0</version>--> <!-- For 2.6.0 release --> <!-- <version>2.6.1-SNAPSHOT</version> --> <!-- For 2.6.x branch --> <!-- <version>2.7.0-SNAPSHOT</version> --> <!-- For TRUNK --> </parent>
Then install SiteStats artifacts in your local Maven repository followed by deployment to your servlet container (e.g. Tomcat):
cd sitestats mvn clean install sakai:deploy
