    <h2>Official Releases</h2>

    <p>
      The latest versions of the libvirt C library can be downloaded from:
    </p>

    <ul>
      <li><a href="ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/">libvirt.org FTP server</a></li>
      <li><a href="http://libvirt.org/sources/">libvirt.org HTTP server</a></li>
    </ul>

    <h2>Hourly development snapshots</h2>

    <p>
      Once an hour, an automated snapshot is made from the latest CVS server
      source tree. These snapshots should be usable, but we make no guarantees
      about their stability:
    </p>

    <ul>
      <li><a href="ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/libvirt-cvs-snapshot.tar.gz">libvirt.org FTP server</a></li>
      <li><a href="http://libvirt.org/sources/libvirt-cvs-snapshot.tar.gz">libvirt.org HTTP server</a></li>
    </ul>

    <h2>CVS repository access</h2>

    <p>
      The master source repository uses <a href="http://ximbiot.com/cvs/cvshome/docs/">CVS</a>
      and anonymous access is provided. Prior to accessing the server is it necessary
      to authenticate using the password <code>anoncvs</code>. This can be accomplished with the
      <code>cvs login</code> command:
    </p>

    <pre>

      # cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@libvirt.org:2401/data/cvs login
    </pre>

    <p>
      Once authenticated, a checkout can be obtained using
    </p>

    <pre>

      # cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@libvirt.org:2401/data/cvs co libvirt
    </pre>

    <p>
      The libvirt build process uses GNU autotools, so after obtaining a checkout
      it is necessary to generate the configure script and Makefile.in templates
      using the <code>autogen.sh</code> command. As an example, to do a complete
      build and install it into your home directory run:
    </p>

    <pre>

      ./autogen.sh --prefix=$HOME/usr
      make
      make install
    </pre>

    <h2>GIT repository mirror</h2>

    <p>
      The CVS source repository is also mirrored using GIT, and is available
      for anonymous access via:
    </p>

    <pre>

      git clone git://git.et.redhat.com/libvirt.git
    </pre>

    <p>
      It can also be browsed at
    </p>

    <pre>

      <a href="http://git.et.redhat.com/?p=libvirt.git;a=summary">http://git.et.redhat.com/?p=libvirt.git;a=summary</a>
