GIT
RSBAC is developed with git.
All RSBAC code is kept in the GIT repositories at git://rsbac.org/, the read-only Web interface is available at http://git.rsbac.org/.
The master branch includes the lastest fetch of Linus Torvalds linux-2.6.git repository.
The subsequent branches, e.g. rsbac-1.4-2.6.33 are following the stable kernel version releases.
Previously, RSBAC was developed using SVN and SVK. The previous repositories can be found at: svn://rsbac.org/ and the read-only Web interface is available at http://svn.rsbac.org/.
The 2.4 Linux kernels are still maintained (but not officially supported) via SVN.
