Can I get the latest code via CVS ?

A) Yes. Here is the information you will need:-

Make sure you have cvs on your system Then log into the cvs server at 'open-bio.org' as: user 'cvs' with password 'cvs'.

Make sure you have cvs on your system Then log into the cvs server at

   cvs -d :pserver:cvs@cvs.open-bio.org:/home/repository/emboss login

Make sure you have cvs on your system. Then log into the cvs server at The password is 'cvs'

To checkout the EMBOSS source code tree, put yourself in a local directory just above where you want to see the EMBOSS directory created. For example if you wanted EMBOSS to be seen as /home/joe/src/emboss... then cd into /home/joe/src then checkout the repository by typing:

   cvs -d :pserver:cvs@cvs.open-bio.org:/home/repository/emboss checkout emboss

Or if you want to update a previously checked-out source code tree:

   cvs -d :pserver:cvs@cvs.open-bio.org:/home/repository/emboss checkout emboss
   cvs -d :pserver:cvs@cvs.open-bio.org:/home/repository/emboss update

You can logout from the CVS server with:

   cvs -d :pserver:cvs@cvs.open-bio.org:/home/repository/emboss logout

(this is a read only server).
