In an ongoing effort to accelerate development of egcs and provide an
open development environment, we are making the egcs CVS source repository
available readonly to the public at large.

You'll be able to pick up the latest code whenever you want instead of
waiting for periodic snapshots.  You'll even be able to check out the
release branch(es) since they also live in the CVS repository.

If you don't already have CVS, we recommend you pick up a recent copy from
Cyclic Software at http://www.cyclic.com .

Assuming you have CVS installed on your machine you can check out the egcs
sources with the following sequence of commands:

set CVSROOT in your environment to

:pserver:anoncvs@egcs.cygnus.com:/egcs/carton/cvsfiles 

Or alternately add "-d :pserver:anoncvs@egcs.cygnus.com:/egcs/carton/cvsfiles"
in the CVS commands below (place it immediately after "cvs" -- ie
before any other cvs arguments).

Issue the command "cvs login".  You will be prompted for a password;
reply with "anoncvs".

Issue the command "cvs co egcs" to check out the egcs sources.

Once you've got the repository checked out "cvs update" will sync your
local sources with those in the repository.  See the CVS manual for
additional information on how to use CVS.


Enjoy!
