Hello.

The web page does not, so far as I can tell, detail how to get access to
the PostgreSQL CVS tree. I just want read access so that I can take a look
at the latest source and do some poking around.

1) Can someone tell me how to get to it, and

Login
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@postgresql.org:/usr/local/cvsroot login
password is 'postgresql'

Development copy
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@postgresql.org:/usr/local/cvsroot co pgsql

Stable copy (i think)
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@postgresql.org:/usr/local/cvsroot co -rREL6_4 pgsql

2) Can someone please put it in the download section of the web page?

There is a CVS FAQ, which you'll find off the Getting Help/Documentation
page of the website. I agree it oughta be linked from the Download page
as well...

It's a little bit out of date --- it recommends cvs 1.9 but the latest
is 1.10. That nasty permissions bug it mentions *is* fixed in 1.10 BTW.

I've started a chapter for the sgml docs (cvs.sgml) which includes the
CVS_FAQ and various e-mail communications from scrappy about the CVS
tree structure. Haven't finished marking it up though...
