+<a href="#developer">developer</a>

+<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@pdx.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@pdx.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@pdx.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>.
+You can request an account from <a href="mailto:eta@lclark.edu">Eric Anholt</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@pdx.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>
