Meresco - Open Source Component Library

Meresco is based on a robust infrastructure for refactoring, version control, dependency management, publishing, packaging, downloading and installing components.

Source code

Meresco sources are available in version control at SourceForge:
http://sf.net/projects/meresco/develop

Source tar balls are available for each version:
http://sources.meresco.org/sources

Packages

Binary packages of Meresco are provided for Linux (Debian, Redhat). As important updates become available automatically, reliable maintenance of Meresco based systems is ensured.

Changesets

A changeset comprises of all modifications to the Meresco source code in the context of a story. This can be a bug fix or a new feature. These changesets can be applied to other versions (e.g. for backporting) or branches. Additionally, they are useful for tracking what's happening.
