+>18.1. Introduction</H1
+><P
+>Samba is developed in an open environment. Developers use CVS
+(Concurrent Versioning System) to "checkin" (also known as
+"commit") new source code. Samba's various CVS branches can
+be accessed via anonymous CVS using the instructions
+detailed in this chapter.</P
+><P
+>This document is a modified version of the instructions found at
+<A
+HREF="http://samba.org/samba/cvs.html"
+TARGET="_top"
+>http://samba.org/samba/cvs.html</A

+>18.2. CVS Access to samba.org</H1
+><P
+>The machine samba.org runs a publicly accessible CVS
+repository for access to the source code of several packages,
+including samba, rsync and jitterbug. There are two main ways of
+accessing the CVS server on this host.</P

+>18.2.1. Access via CVSweb</H2
+><P
+>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.</P
+><P
+>Use the URL : <A
+HREF="http://samba.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb"
+TARGET="_top"
+>http://samba.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb</A
+></P

+></A
+>18.2.2. Access via cvs</H2
+><P
+>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.</P
+><P
+>To download the latest cvs source code, point your
+browser at the URL : <A
+HREF="http://www.cyclic.com/"
+TARGET="_top"
+>http://www.cyclic.com/</A
+>.
+and click on the 'How to get cvs' link. CVS is free software under
+the GNU GPL (as is Samba). 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.</P
+><P
+>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. For the other source code repositories
+on this system just substitute the correct package name</P
+><P
+></P
+><OL
+TYPE="1"
+><LI
+><P
+> Install a recent copy of cvs. All you really need is a
+ copy of the cvs client binary.
+ </P

+ </P
+><P
+> <B

+> This will create a directory called samba containing the
+ latest samba source code (i.e. the HEAD tagged cvs branch). This
+ currently corresponds to the 3.0 development tree.
+ </P
+><P
+> CVS branches other HEAD can be obtained by using the <TT
+CLASS="PARAMETER"
+><I
+>-r</I
+></TT
+>
+ and defining a tag name. A list of branch tag names can be found on the
+ "Development" page of the samba web site. A common request is to obtain the
+ latest 2.2 release code. This could be done by using the following command.
