How to obtain the Scribus source
You can get the most recent version of Scribus from:


 * Main Scribus Website - http://www.scribus.net
 * Scribus Sourceforge Downloads

There is also thanks to Anduin.net, anonymous CVS access is updated daily. Only recommended for those who want to stay on the bleeding edge. Scribus 1.2.x is now deprecated. Instructions for getting the latest source via svn:

Scribus 1.3.3.x - Stable

svn co svn://scribus.info/Scribus/branches/Version133x

or, for those with closed SVN ports on their firewalls:

svn co http://scribus.info/svn/Scribus/branches/Version133x/

From here, continue with the Compiling and Installing using autotools instructions.

Scribus 1.3.5 target branch. This branch is the code that will end up as 1.3.5, and eventually 1.4.0.

svn co svn://scribus.info/Scribus/branches/Version135

or, once again for those with closed SVN ports on their firewalls:

svn co http://scribus.info/svn/Scribus/branches/Version135

Scribus 1.5.0svn - Development

svn co svn://scribus.info/Scribus/trunk

or, once again for those with closed SVN ports on their firewalls:

svn co http://scribus.info/svn/Scribus/trunk

CMake is required for any version after 1.3.4, as autotools support has been removed.

From here, continue with the Official:Compile_with_CMake instructions.
