Accessing the CVS Repository
The most recent version of the code is available via CVS. While this gives access to the very latest code, it is development-grade code. We try to make sure it will always compile and that basic functions work, but it is usually not thoroughly tested. For production environments, it is recommended that the distribution tarballs or packages are used unless you really know what you're doing.
Nightly tarballs of the latest source from CVS are available from the FTP sites in the devel/source
directory.
