<h1><a id="CVS" name="CVS">Boost's CVS Repository</a></h1>
<p>All Boost files, including the entire distribution tree including web
site HTML is maintained in a CVS repository. Command line, GUI, or browser
access is available.</p>
<h2>Boost CVS access via command line or graphical clients</h2>For those
who have CVS clients installed, the libraries are also available from the
public <a href="http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=7586">Boost CVS
repository</a>. Free command line clients (often already installed on
Linux/Unix systems) are available for many systems, and free GUI clients
are available for Windows, Mac, and other systems.
<p>See the much improved <a href=
"http://sourceforge.net/docman/?group_id=1">CVS documentation</a> (Section
F) from SourceForge, which includes links to the home pages for various GUI
and command line clients.</p>
<p>The general procedure for command-line clients is something like
this:</p>
<blockquote>
<code>cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@boost.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost
login</code><br>
[Hit <return> when it asks for a password]<br>
<code>cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@boost.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost
checkout boost</code><br>
<code>cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@boost.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost
logout</code>
</blockquote>Read the manual for your CVS client for further information.
<p>This access is read-only; if you are a library author and wish to have
CVS write access, please contact one of the <a href=
"moderators.html">moderators</a>.</p>
<h2>Boost CVS access via web <a id="Browser" name=
"Browser">Browser</a></h2>For access to the CVS archive from any modern web
browser, you can also use the <a href=
"http://boost.cvs.sourceforge.net/boost/boost/">web
browser interface</a>. Try one of the color diffs to see how a
file has changed over time. <b>Note:</b> this interface is only suitable
for viewing individual files and their revision histories.
<h2><a id="generated" name="generated">Documentation</a> generated from
BoostBook in CVS</h2>
<p>Some of the Boost documentation is generated from <a href=
"../doc/html/boostbook.html">BoostBook XML</a> source stored in the CVS
repository, and will not appear directly in the CVS tree as readable HTML.
View a nightly build of the generated HTML on the <a href=
"http://www.boost.org/regression-logs/cs-win32_metacomm/doc/html/libraries.html">
Nightly Generated Documentation</a> page. Where generated HTML is missing
from the CVS tree, an attempt has been made to include redirection to this
nightly build, but if you are away from an internet connection you may want
to download the generated documentation archive from the aforementioned
page so you can browse those documents offline.</p>
