<p>
If you found a bug and fixed it for us or just reported it to us
so we could fix it,
then a monthly (or so) release may not be good enough for you.
<H1><A NAME="CURRENT">LessTif-current</A></H1>
Therefore, we also have lesstif-current which is a daily snapshot
of our CVS repository.
A (small) <small> word </small> of caution : we make mistakes,
like anybody else.
The lesstif-current release may not even compile
due to an error on our part.
Should that happen, please tell us immediately,
we'll fix that promptly.
<p>
People who are interested in what happens to LessTif can subscribe to
<a href="mailto:lesstif-commits-subscribe@hungry.com">the lesstif-commits
mailing list </a> ,
which gets a copy of the comments
entered by the core developers as they make updates to the CVS repository.
<p>
<H1><A NAME="ANONCVS">Anonymous CVS</A></H1>
You can use CVS to grab an up to date copy of our sources
whenever you want.
This is an alternative to the "sup" and the daily patches to keep
your sources up to date.
<p>
The CVSROOT to use is <B>:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.hungry.com:/cvsroot</B>.
As you may have figured out, this is an environment variable that
you should set using <i>export CVSROOT=...</i> or the <i>setenv</i> command.
<P>
Use <B>cvs login</B> to get yourself known to the system.
The password is <B>anoncvs</B>.
<P>
Then use the command <B>cvs checkout lesstif</B> to
get LessTif for the first time,
use <B>cvs update lesstif</B> from the same place to update;
or move in the lesstif/ directory and simply type <B>cvs update</B>.
<P>
<I>The anonymous CVS server is currently only a P75 system which will
probably not perform well when using compression.
Please don't use cvs's compression option with it.</I>
<P>
One final remark: once you have a checked out CVS distribution,
<I>cvs update</I> will get you up to date.
When a directory is added, like lib/Xlt,
this won't show up in your image just like that.
You'll have to put yourself in the "lib" directory and
run <I>cvs update -d Xlt</I>.
