2.2.2 CVS incantations

To download SLIME you first configure your CVSROOT and login to the repository.

     export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@common-lisp.net:/project/slime/cvsroot
     cvs login

(The password is anonymous)

The latest version can then be checked out with:

     cvs checkout slime

Or the FAIRLY-STABLE version can be checked out with:

     cvs checkout -rFAIRLY-STABLE slime

If you want to find out what's new since the version you're currently running, you can diff the local ChangeLog against the repository version:

     cvs diff -rHEAD ChangeLog      # or: -rFAIRLY-STABLE
