Libraries

In the past a distribution consisting of only the CCP4 libraries has been exported directly from the head of the CVS tree on a regular basis and made available here, however as of August 2008 this service has been withdrawn due to lack of demand.

The most recent export was made on 21st August 2008:

Distributions consisting of the libraries from CCP4 6.0 series releases are available here:

Distributions consisting of the libraries from the 5.0 series releases are also available:

To build any of these "onlylibs" distributions, follow the instructions here.


Submissions

The deadline for submissions to CCP4 6.1 is now passed. However submissions for inclusion into future releases are welcome at any time, please e-mail ccp4@dl.ac.uk.

Announcements for the benefit of contributors regarding the status of the next release will also be made from time to time via the CCP4 Developers Bulletin Board (ccp4-dev). Traffic on ccp-dev is normally very light, and it is recommended that anyone interested in keeping up-to-date should subscribe to this list.
