To download the boost trunk as zip from boost trunk

Right now, I am checking out files using SharpSvn in my c# code, but it would be great if there is way to get the boost trunk as a zip similar to GitHub as mentioned in another post: How to download source in ZIP format from GitHub?

  • For both Git and SVN, this is something the *server* can do as an added function, but is not a part of the source control system. – crashmstr Jul 15 '14 at 13:36

You can't get automagically any URL in Subversion repository compressed into any type of archive. Period

    You'd be a **lazier** badger **iff** you had **refrained** from all the **markdown** emphasis – sehe Jul 15 '14 at 14:03
  • @Lazy Badger: Yes, I accept but like other post on github suggested to get zip file by adding zipball/master/ at the end of URL, which I was not aware of. – Asterisk14 Jul 15 '14 at 18:01
  • @Asterisk14 - only for Github and just because it's Git behind the scene for both access-URLs – Lazy Badger Jul 16 '14 at 06:55
