There doesn’t seem to be any source for the 2010 WPILib available. It is not with the update. The documentation says to go to firstforge.wpi.equ and I tried that. I had to register, install Subversion on my PC, and then try to checkout the sources. It turns out that the sources haven’t been checked in yet or I’m doing something wrong. Has anyone managed to download the WPILib sources?
I would have brought this up on the FIRST Forums but they are still for the 2009 competition and there has been almost no traffic there. They haven’t created the 2010 forum area or I’m doing something wrong.
My apologies. I didn’t read carefully. My guess is that they haven’t released the source yet because most of it is so new and they want some time to fix bugs before they release it for us all to complain about… err, improve it.
Yes, well thats sort of the point of having it be open source, is that we can all review it and report any bugs. Not releasing it for that reason is rather silly (which, I realize you’re not them, so that’s probably not the reason – its probably just an oversight at this point).
Originally there was supposed to be SVN trunk access to WPILib, but they still haven’t given teams access to that. Yes, one might argue that if its in the trunk then you might be able to shoot yourself in the foot with code that isn’t properly tested… but once again that’s the point of having it available.
firstforge.wpi.edu is there and you can register and see the WPILib repostitory. It is just that it is empty. Brad’s response implies that thay are working on the problem.
