The following instructions are for UNIX variants. There are CVS clients available for Windows and MacOS, but I'm not sure what they're called. If you're stuck on one of those other systems, then Google is your friend. You can also use ViewCVS at http://cvs.pablotron.org/' to browse the CVS repository via your web browser.

The Poor Man's Guide to Pablotron CVS

cvs -d ":pserver:anonymous@cvs.pablotron.org:/var/lib/cvs" login
Password: <press enter>
cvs -z3 -d ":pserver:anonymous@cvs.pablotron.org:/var/lib/cvs" co imlib2-ruby raggle


This example will check out the latest development versions of Imlib2-Ruby and Raggle. You only need to check out modules once. After that, you can update each module as follows:

cd moduleDir
cvs -z3 update


Email me if you have any questions about checking stuff out of CVS. Please _don't_ email me if your CVS snapshots are broken; chances are I already know.
