How to access the Open-Xchange Server source code

The source code of Open-Xchange Server is available using cvs access and source packages. Please make sure to use an up-to-date CVS client (cvs > 1.12) to check out the repositories. Integrated CVS clients e.g. for current Eclipse version work well, too.

Organization of the open-xchange repository

The open-xchange repository contains several OSGi bundles which are the building block of the Open-Xchange server package. Each of them has an ant build.xml file containing a target to create a source tarball and a subdirectory called packaging which contains the package metadata to build DEB and RPM packages.
