This page describes how to develop with DSpace.

The SVN repository is at 

http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/dspace

.

If you are doing development work you'd like to contribute to the community, please consider checking DSpace out of our Subversion repository rather than using a packaged download. Also, please be sure to read ContributionGuidelines.

See also: updating your local code base if you've already made many modifications to a downloaded DSpace version.

If you have more than one developer, or need to manage versions or releases yourself (e.g. deploying customised DSpace software to a production server), you should consider using your own CVS tree with the DSpace core code on a vendor branch. see Running your own CVS repository

This presentation explains the new ways to add your local customizations to the DSpace 1.5 codebase:
