cd into the directory you would like the emacs sources to be in.
(for example, I put all my cvs snarfed programs into /build)
then type:
cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs login
when you are prompted for a password just press return.
(the password for anonymous access is the empty string)
then type:
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co emacs
(co means checkout)
bingo! you should have an emacs source tree.
Read emacs/INSTALL-CVS, especially:
Some of the files that are included in the Emacs tarball, such as
byte-compiled Lisp files, are not stored in the CVS repository.
Therefore, to build from CVS you must run "make bootstrap"
instead of just "make":
$ ./configure
$ make bootstrap
After some time has passed you might want to update your sources, to
get recent changes. I'm not sure what is the best way to do that,
but a straightforward way is to type:
cvs up
from within the emacs directory.
