There are two main ways of +accessing the CVS server on this host. +</para> + +<sect2> +<title>Access via CVSweb</title> + +<para> +You can access the source code via your +favourite WWW browser. This allows you to access the contents of +individual files in the repository and also to look at the revision +history and commit logs of individual files. You can also ask for a diff +listing between any two versions on the repository. +</para> + +<para> +Use the URL : <ulink +url="http://samba.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb">http://samba.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb</ulink> +</para> +</sect2> + +<sect2> +<title>Access via cvs</title> + +<para> +You can also access the source code via a +normal cvs client. This gives you much more control over you can +do with the repository and allows you to checkout whole source trees +and keep them up to date via normal cvs commands. This is the +preferred method of access if you are a developer and not +just a casual browser. +</para> + +<para> +To download the latest cvs source code, point your +browser at the URL : <ulink url="http://www.cyclic.com/">http://www.cyclic.com/</ulink>. +and click on the 'How to get cvs' link.

Note that there are several graphical CVS clients +which provide a graphical interface to the sometimes mundane CVS commands. +Links to theses clients are also available from http://www.cyclic.com. +</para> + +<para> +To gain access via anonymous cvs use the following steps. +For this example it is assumed that you want a copy of the +samba source code.
