Kannel: Download Page

From this page you can download Kannel in various formats. There are also instructions for accessing the CVS server. You probably want to review the license.

If you're going to compile Kannel yourself, you need to download and install the Gnome XML library, libxml, from http://xmlsoft.org/xml.html.
If you are installing it from your distribution's packages, you'll need libxml2-dev in addition to run-time libxml2 package libraries.

Current status

If you are interested in contributing to the development, please use the CVS tree and send suggestions and patches to the developer's mailing list.

CVS access to source code

You can look at the current development version of the sources directly from our version control system. We use CVS, so you need to install that first. (See for example CVShome.org for a source distribution, or your Linux distribution for ready-to-install binaries.)

Log in using the following command (just press Enter when it asks for a password):
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.kannel.org:/home/cvs login
Check out the current version of the Kannel gateway:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.kannel.org:/home/cvs co gateway
Later, when you want to check whether there have been changes, do the following:
cd gateway cvs up -d

If you want to send us patches, please send the output of cvs diff -u (-u makes cvs use unified diffs, instead of plain diffs; unified diffs are easier to read, since they provide more context and can be applied to a later version of the same file). Please send the patches as plain text attachments to devel@kannel.org

Web access to source code

In addition to the normal CVS client, you can browse the CVS repository directly using ViewCVS or navigate through the source code cross-reference via Doxygen documentation.
