====1.1 branch====

This branch is the previous stable branch.

LSC 1.1 had two components:
  - **LSC-core**: The heart of the synchronization engine. It contains generic code to connect and compare data sources.
  - **LSC-sample**: A dummy project that you must download and modify to create a synchronization connector. This project depends on LSC-core.

Therefore, you must download a source archive of LSC-sample. It will automatically download the right version of LSC-core.

===== File repository =====

All releases and snapshots are available at the following location: http://tools.lsc-project.org/files.

===== Source code =====

LSC source code is available at the following locations:
  * [[http://tools.lsc-project.org/repo|Source code browser]] (web interface to SVN repository)

==== SVN repository access ====

To check out the source code from SVN, you need to install a SVN client, and point in to the above address. On most *NIX based systems, just run these commands:
<code shell>
svn checkout https://lsc-project.org/svn/lsc/trunk lsc-core-trunk
svn checkout https://lsc-project.org/svn/lsc-sample/trunk lsc-sample-trunk
</code>

You can also choose a tagged version instead of the trunk development source code, depending if you are looking for the latest or a stable version.

Developers can authenticate to the repository to commit using this URL:
<code>
https://<username>@lsc-project.org/svn/
</code>


===== Snapshots of LSC =====

As well as updating from SVN, you can get nightly snapshots of all active branches of LSC.

LSC-core and LSC-sample are [[http://tools.lsc-project.org/files|available as archives]], with "-SNAPSHOT" in the name.
