The latest development sources of Octave are available via this [http://www.octave.org/hg/octave Mercurial archive]. | |||
With Mercurial and git installed you get the latest development version of Octave sources with the following command: | |||
<code> | |||
hg clone http://www.octave.org/hg/octave | |||
</code> | |||
If you decide to use the development sources from the Mercurial archive, please read the file etc/HACKING that is available with the source files. | |||
This will clone two repositories, one of which is subrepository of the main Octave repository. Once you have these, you can resync with the archive by doing | |||
<code> | |||
hg -v pull ##-v means "verbose", to get more diagnostic output | |||
hg -v update | |||
</code> | |||
The -v option is not required but provides extra information about what was pulled and updated. The Octave manual has more information about contributing to Octave's development. | |||
