(Well, I'm Lars> missing a few releases here and there.) Great! The next step is to arrange an anonymous (or controlled) read-only access for those of use who are willing to get incrementally the latest revision or see at what point things have changed :-) I know of some people who have done this already. One exemple is the maintainer of phpfi. Here is an extract of the README file: " Getting Updates --------------- Entire new distributions of the package are made available frequently in the file archive at http://www.vex.net/php/files If you don't like re-installing every time you want to update your package, or if you are a programmer and want to make sure you always have the latest bleeding-edge version of the package, get a package called CVS. It is available at prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu. Get version 1.7 or later. Compile and install this package. Make sure you enable client support. Check the cvs-1.7/src/options.h file and verify that AUTH_CLIENT_SUPPORT is defined. Now type the following: cvs -d :pserver:cvsread@vex.net:/u/local/src/repository login When it asks you for a password enter: phpfi Then type: cvs checkout phpfi This will create a phpfi directory in your current directory. It will take a bit of time, especially if your network connection is slow. But once it is done, you will have an up to date copy of the master CVS source tree. You can then at any time cd into this directory and type: cvs update to update your source tree to be in sync with the master tree. [...] Keep in mind that the CVS version may not always compile, or if it does compile, it may not be stable. The CVS version is a development version and should be treated as such.
