<h1>Public CVS and Mercurial Access</h1>


<h2>Access V4L-DVB via web browser</h2>

<p>
V4L/DVB tree is available via <a href=http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb>http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb</a>.
</p><p>
It is also possible to get a tarball of the latest version by using the following procedure:
</p>
<ol>
<li>Open http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb on your favorite browser;
</li><li>go to Tips line and click on it;
</li><li>It will open a view of current tags. Click on manifest at the tip line;
</li><li>A tree graph will be showed. You will see near the top an option to get a <gz> or <bz2>. Click on one of these and you will receive a tarball with the latest version.
</li></ol>


<h2>Checkout V4L-DVB</h2>

<p>Starting from 2006-01-30, V4L and DVB kernel modules are available via 
<a href=http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/>Mercurial</a>.</p>

<p> To get the latest sources from Mercurial, you need:</p>
<ol><li>To install mercurial.<br>
some distros already have it. If not available, you can <a
href=http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/BinaryPackages>download a binary
version</a> or <a href=http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/Download> retrieve a
source file</a>.
</li><li>
hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb
</li></ol>

<h2>Checkout old V4L/DVB CVS tree</h2>

<p><tt>cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxtv.org:/cvs/video4linux login</tt><br>
(use an empty password)</p>
<p><tt>cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxtv.org:/cvs/video4linux co -P v4l-dvb</tt></p>

<h2>Checkout old DVB CVS tree or other DVB CVS modules</h2>

<p>As CVS is mostly used by developers it tracks the latest -rc kernel
and may not compile with older kernels, not even with the last stable release.
We provide a patchset for the latest stable kernel
<a href="http://linuxtv.org/downloads/patches/">in the download area</a>.</p>

<p> To get the latest sources from CVS you need to issue the following commands:</p>

<p><tt>cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxtv.org:/cvs/linuxtv login</tt><br>
(use an empty password)</p>
<p><tt>cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxtv.org:/cvs/linuxtv co -P dvb-kernel</tt><br>
(use any other module you are interested in instead of dvb-kernel, you can check
with <a href="/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi">viewcvs</a> which modules exist)<p>

<p>If you want to check out the current drivers for the 2.4 kernel, please use:
<tt>cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxtv.org:/cvs/linuxtv co -P -rlinux_2_4 dvb-kernel</tt><br>
(use any other module you are interested in instead of dvb-kernel)<p>

<h2>Checkout old video4linux CVS tree</h2>

<p>This is similar to DVB but uses a different CVSROOT:</p>
<p><tt>cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxtv.org:/cvs/video4linux login</tt></p>
<p><tt>cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxtv.org:/cvs/video4linux co -P v4l-kernel</tt></p>

<h2>Update</h2>

<p>You can later update your sources by running:</p>
<p><tt>cvs -z3 up -dP</tt></p>

<h2>Browse the CVS Repository Online</h2>

<p>You can browse the files in the CVS repository with viewcvs. You can also
download on-the-fly generated tarballs, but please use this feature sparingly
as it puts a high load on the machine. If you find yourself downloading the
newest sources regularly you should consider using anon-cvs access, as described above.</p>
<p>To browse the video4linux CVS select the "v4l" tree in the upper right
of the viewcvs page, or use the link below.</p>

<p><a href="/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/">viewcvs DVB</a></p>
