Download

We offer three access methods, downloads via sourceforge, a source browser, as well as svn repository access. Please chose the appropriate access method that better suits you.

SourceForge Downloads

Downloads are available in Source and Binary form. The GPLv2 Edition is always available from SourceForge, which has excellent mirrors and allows much higher bandwidths than we can offer.

The currently available download is 0.10.0, and is available for the following platforms:

  • Linux (i686 and x86_64) (.rpm, .deb and .tgz)
  • Solaris (x64 .pkg – Please note: SPARC support coming soon)
  • MacOS (x86 .tgz)
  • Source (.tgz)

BlackRay requires a set of third party libraries which need to be downloaded and installed first. There are packages for the third party libraries available for all platforms, which need to be installed before the blackray package itself can be installed.

Source Browser

Access to the Source Code via Browser is available via the SoftMethod Forge (powered by Redmine). Here, you can also view tickets, check the roadmap and anything related to the BlackRay project.

Subversion Access

You can check out from our public subversion repository, which is located here:

The proper checkout-command to get the latest code is

svn co https://svn.softmethod.de/opensource/blackray/trunk/ blackray_trunk

Your subversion-client may issue the following warning:

 fingerprint to validate the certificate manually!

This is due to so OpenSSL not havin the proper chain trust certificate for Comodo SSL certificates.

You may want to get stable versions, which can be found in

https://svn.softmethod.de/opensource/blackray/tags

Branches for continued development of stable versions can be found here

https://svn.softmethod.de/opensource/blackray/branches

Some more experimental stuff can be found in the developer branches (these may change without notice)

To get write-access to the subversion repository please contact us via our contact form. Be sure to supply a good reason why we should allow you to commit code. Before you will be given commit access, we need a contributor license agreement signed by both sides.

Closed Source License

Currently BlackRay is only available under the GPLv2. If you have a need for a closed source variant, please contact softmethod to discuss possible commercial options.
