Most users of the source code probably don't need to have day to day access to the source code as it changes. For these users we provide easy to unpack source code downloads via our download pages. For projects not listed on that page, please see the individual project homepages for their download directories.

So, you've decided that you need access to the source tree to see the latest and greatest code. There's two different forms of CVS access. The first is anonymous and anybody can use it. The second is not and you must have a login to the development server. If you don't know what this means, join the mailing list and find out.

Anyone can checkout source code from our anonymous CVS server. To do so, simply use the following commands (if you are using a GUI CVS client, configure it appropriatly):

	cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.apache.org:/home/cvspublic login password: anoncvs

	cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.apache.org:/home/cvspublic checkout [module-name]

If you are a Committer and have a login on the Apache development server, this section is for you. If you are not a Committer, but you want to submit patches or even request commit privileges, please see our Guidelines for more information.

To have full access to the CVS server, you need to follow the links depending on the operating system you are using:

• Unix
• Windows

For some, using CVS pserver might not be enough. You can access the Jakarta source modules via CVSup or Rsync. For more information about how to use these tools with the Apache CVS tree, see the Apache Mirroring Document.
