<h1>CVS Access</h1>

<p>
Mesa's CVS repository (code management system) is hosted on
<a href="http://www.freedesktop.org" target="_parent">freedesktop.org</a>.
</p>

<p>
You may access the repository either as an
<a href="#anonymous">anonymous user</a> (read-only) or as a
<a href="#developer">developer</a>
(read/write).
</p>

<p>
You may also 
<a href="http://freedesktop.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/mesa/Mesa/"
target="_parent">browse the CVS repository</a>.
</p>


<a name="anonymous">
<H2>Anonymous CVS Access</H2>

<p>
Anonymous, public, read-only access to the CVS repository is available.
Here are the basic instructions for Unix systems:
</p>

<ol>
<li>Install CVS client software on your computer if needed.
    Version 1.9.28 is known to work.
<li>Login as an anonymous user:
    <pre>
    cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.freedesktop.org:/cvs/mesa login
    </pre>
    Just press Enter/Return when prompted for a password.
    <br>
    <br>
<li>Check out the code:
    <pre>
    cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.freedesktop.org:/cvs/mesa co Mesa
    </pre>
</ol>


<p>To update your Mesa CVS source to the latest CVS source:</p>

<ol>
<li><code>cd Mesa</code>
<li><code>cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.freedesktop.org:/cvs/mesa update</code>
</ol>


<a name="developer">
<H2>Developer CVS Access</H2>

<p>
Mesa developers working with the Mesa CVS repository need to first
have an account on <a href="http://www.freedesktop.org" target="_parent">
freedesktop.org</a>.
To get an account, please ask Brian or the other Mesa developers for
permission.
Then, if there are no objections, follow this
<a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/AccountRequests" target="_parent">
procedure</a>.
</p>

<p>
Once your account is established, you can check out the Mesa CVS tree
with:
<pre>
   setenv CVS_RSH ssh        (if using a csh-like shell)
</pre>
<em>OR</em>
<pre>
   export CVS_RSH=rsh        (if using a bash-like shell)
</pre>
followed by:
<pre>
   cvs -d:ext:yourusername@cvs.freedesktop.org:/cvs/mesa co Mesa
</pre>

<p>
Of course, replace <em>yourusername</em> with your actual login name.
</p>

<p>
Subsequent updates should only require:
</p>
<pre>
   cvs update
</pre>
