Welcome to the ReelBox information source for developers,

These pages are designed to provide a central source of information for those wishing to write their own software in line with current modification options.

Subversion (SVN) is a tool facilitating required changes to the source code. In addition to updating software components SVN records the identity of the person responsible for making the changes and when they occurred.

Further information regarding the use of SVN can be found in the book “Version control with Subversion”. For an online version go to: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/index.html

In order to replace ReelVDR with your own version, a Linux system such as Debian Sarge, Suse 9.2/9.3 or Kubuntu incorporating the relevant development tools and packages, is required.

An SVN Client will need to be installed in order to access the SVN Repository.
