ACS is released by means of tar files

SVN mirror
ACS source and tools are kept under configuration control in a SVN archive.
All parts of the ACS archive publicly available as LGPL are mirrored in read
only mode in a publicly accessible SVN repository, while development is done on
a separate SVN, that contains also some developments and tools that
we cannot publicly distribute. The mirror is updated once a week.
SVN repository URL is https://vcs1.alma.cl/almasvn.
