h1. Getting Replicant Sources

h2. Browsing the source

The Replicant source code is currently hosted at Gitorious: https://gitorious.org/replicant 
There is a branch per Replicant version, like @replicant-2.2@.

h2. Code tree location

Start by defining the place where you want to download Replicant tree. 
*The path to this place must have no space!*

h2. Installing the tools

Then, download the @repo@ tool and set it executable:
<pre>
mkdir tools
cd tools
wget https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo
chmod a+x repo
cd ../
</pre>

h2. Getting the source manifest

The source manifest is the list of all the git repos that are present in the Replicant tree.
There is one manifest per replicant version. 

h3. Replicant 4.0

<pre>
mkdir replicant-4.0
cd replicant-4.0
../tools/repo init -u git://gitorious.org/replicant/manifest.git -b replicant-4.0
</pre>

h3. Replicant 2.3

<pre>
mkdir replicant-2.3
cd replicant-2.3
../tools/repo init -u git://gitorious.org/replicant/manifest.git -b replicant-2.3
</pre>

h3. Replicant 2.2

<pre>
mkdir replicant-2.2
cd replicant-2.2
../tools/repo init -u git://gitorious.org/replicant/manifest.git -b replicant-2.2
</pre>

h2. Downloading/Updating the source from the repos

Now that you have configured repo to use a manifest, you can start downloading Replicant sources for the desired version.
*This is step is very long and can take the whole day to complete!*

<pre>
../tools/repo sync
</pre>

Depending on your internet bandwidth, using the @-j@ argument may speed up the process:

<pre>
../tools/repo sync -j9
</pre>

You must redo this step each time you want to sync your tree, in order to keep it up to date. Future syncs are faster than the first one.
