![[S] Subversion](/images/svn-name-banner.svg)
The Subversion project maintains several mailing lists for use by various members of the community. But before we say much more, please forgive us for shouting out the following:
If you have a question, please check the Subversion book first. The single page edition of the book can be searched easily.
If you cannot find the answer in the Subversion book, please search the archives:
If you cannot find an answer in the archives, please post your question to:
You do not need to be subscribed to post, but please expect a small delay for your post to appear (see below for details).
You do not need to be subscribed to post; it's common practice on our lists to mention in post that you aren't subscribed and would appreciate being explicitly Cc:ed in any responses. That way you get your responses without getting mails about every other active thread.
If it's your first post, there may be a small delay (one day or so) before your mail appears, because the moderators have to approve the unrecognized address. After the first time, there should be no more delay.
We strongly recommend that newcomers to the Subversion project read the "Mailing Lists" section of the Subversion Community Guide.
All of the following lists are publicly archived. (The sole exception is the private@ list whose archives are available to its subscribers.) Both public and private archives are available to members of the Apache Software Foundation. When you send mail to these lists, you are publicly publishing the contents without condition, pursuant to the Apache Public Forum Archive Policy. This is not a new policy; Subversion's mailing list archives have always been public, so please don't take this as a deterrent to participating in the community!
Now that we've gotten all that off our collective chests, here are our primary mailing lists:
| List | Details | ||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| users@ |

||||||||||||
| dev@ |
|

| commits@ |

To subscribe to the lists above, simply send email to LISTNAME-subscribe@subversion.apache.org (where LISTNAME is the name of the list: "dev", "users", etc.) from the email address you wish to be subscribed.
Spam filters don't like messages with empty Subjects; just use e.g. subscribe. Spam filters are also more likely to reject HTML-formatted messages; please use plain text.
You will receive a confirmation request e-mail in reply. You must reply to this e-mail to complete the process.
To unsubscribe from the lists above, simply send email to LISTNAME-unsubscribe@subversion.apache.org (where LISTNAME is the name of the list: "dev", "users", etc.) from the email address you wish to be unsubscribed.
If that doesn't work, ensure that you are attempting to unsubscribe the correct email address. Look at the Return-Path header in one of the list mails to determine which email address is subscribed, and then send email to LISTNAME-unsubscribe-some.name=some.domain@subversion.apache.org.
Spam filters don't like messages with empty Subjects; just use e.g. unsubscribe. Spam filters are also more likely to reject HTML-formatted messages; please use plain text.

For more details, see the Subscribing and Unsubscribing section of the ASF Mailing Lists page.
It's often useful to search the mailing list archives before posting or replying: someone may have already reported the bug you're about to report, for example, or have already written the answer you're about to write. In the table above you'll find links to archives of our mailing lists. The primary archives are at apache.org, but other sites offer alternative archives of some of our lists, too.
Note that if the search functions at one of these archives don't do what you need, try one of the alternates — they're all copies of the same data, but they offer different interfaces.
If you want to download the archives as mbox files, you can do this from lists.apache.org (use the download link in the upper right).
If you want to download the mbox files regularly, you can use the following url:
https://lists.apache.org/api/mbox.lua?list=dev&domain=subversion.apache.org&d=2022-12Replace the list argument with the name of the list in the table above and change the year/date.
If you only want to receive mail about important announcements (new releases of Subversion, for example), just subscribe to announce@subversion.apache.org.
