  34 Anonymous, public, read-only access to the CVS repository is available.
  35 Here are the basic instructions for Unix systems:
  36 </p>
  37
  38 <ol>
  39 <li>Install CVS client software on your computer if needed.
  40     Version 1.9.28 is known to work.
  41 <li>Login as an anonymous user:
  42     <pre>
  43     cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@pdx.freedesktop.org:/cvs/mesa login
  44     </pre>
  45     Just press Enter/Return when prompted for a password.
  46     <br>
  47     <br>
  48 <li>Check out the code:
  49     <pre>
  50     cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@pdx.freedesktop.org:/cvs/mesa co Mesa
  51     </pre>
  52 </ol>
  53
  54
  55 <p>To update your Mesa CVS source to the latest CVS source:</p>
  56
  57 <ol>
  58 <li><code>cd Mesa</code>
  59 <li><code>cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@pdx.freedesktop.org:/cvs/mesa update</code>
  60 </ol>

  64 <H2>Developer CVS Access</H2>
  65
  66 <p>
  67 Mesa developers working with the Mesa CVS repository need to first
  68 have an account on <a href="http://www.freedesktop.org" target="_parent">
  69 freedesktop.org</a>.
  70 To get an account, please ask Brian or the other Mesa developers for
  71 permission.
  72 Then, if there are no objections, follow this
  73 <a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/AccountRequests" target="_parent">
  74 procedure</a>.
  75 </p>
  76
  77 <p>
  78 Once your account is established, you can check out the Mesa CVS tree
  79 with:
  80 <pre>
  81    setenv CVS_RSH ssh        (if using a csh-like shell)
  82 </pre>
  83 <em>OR</em>
  84 <pre>
  85    export CVS_RSH=rsh        (if using a bash-like shell)
  86 </pre>
  87 followed by:
  88 <pre>
  89    cvs -d:ext:yourusername@pdx.freedesktop.org:/cvs/mesa co Mesa
  90 </pre>
  91
  92 <p>
  93 Of course, replace <em>yourusername</em> with your actual login name.
  94 </p>
  95
  96 <p>
  97 Subsequent updates should only require:
  98 </p>
  99 <pre>
 100    cvs update
 101 </pre>
