- <title>The Source Code Repository</title>
-
- <para>
- The <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> source code is stored and managed using the
- <productname>CVS</productname> version control system. An official mirror using
- <productname>Git</productname> is also available, for those who wish to use a
- distributed version control system. This mirror is automatically
- updated whenever the main repository changes, so it always contains the latest
- versions of all branches.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- Using <productname>Git</> is the most flexible way to work with the source, and it
- allows you to work offline without having constant access to the project servers.
- <productname>rsync</> based <productname>CVS</> also lets you work offline, but
- lacks many of the other advantages of <productname>Git</>.

- To being using the Git repository, make a clone of the official mirror:
-
-<programlisting>
-git clone git://git.postgresql.org/git/postgresql.git
-</programlisting>
-
- This will copy the full repository to your local machine, so it may take
- a while to complete, especially if you have a slow Internet connection.

- The Git mirror can also be reached via the HTTP protocol in case for example
- a firewall is blocking access to the Git protocol. Just replace the URL
- like:
-
-<programlisting>
-git clone http://git.postgresql.org/git/postgresql.git

- You will need a local copy of <productname>CVS</productname>
- (Concurrent Version Control System), which you can get from
- <ulink url="http://www.nongnu.org/cvs/"></ulink> (the official

- of the directory you are currently in.

- This initial checkout is a little slower than simply downloading

- </step>
-

- Whenever you want to update to the latest <productname>CVS</productname> sources,
- <command>cd</command> into
- the <filename>pgsql</filename> subdirectory, and issue:
-<programlisting>
-cvs -z3 update -d -P

- You can save yourself some typing by making a file <filename>.cvsrc</filename>
- in your home directory that contains:
-
-<programlisting>
-cvs -z3
-update -d -P
-</programlisting>
-
- This supplies the <option>-z3</option> option to all <command>cvs</> commands, and the
- <option>-d</option> and <option>-P</option> options to <command>cvs update</>. Then you just have

- <productname>CVS</productname> can do a lot of other things, such
- as fetching prior revisions of the

- documentation at <ulink url="http://www.nongnu.org/cvs/"></ulink>.
- </para>
- <para>
- <productname>CVS</productname> has deficiencies. For example,
- generating diffs that add or remove files requires write access to the
- CVS repository. To work around that deficiency, use
- <productname>cvsutils</productname>, which is packaged in several
- operating systems, and is available in source form at <ulink
- url="http://www.red-bean.com/cvsutils/"></ulink>, or use <productname>Git</>
- or another system designed to work offline.

- Note that building <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> from a CVS
- pull requires reasonably up-to-date versions of <application>bison</>
- and <application>flex</>, which are not needed to build from a distribution
- tarball because the files made with them are pre-built in a tarball.
- You will need Perl as well.
- Otherwise the tool requirements are the same as building from source.

-
- <para>
- An alternative to using anonymous CVS for retrieving the
- <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> source tree is
- <productname>rsync</productname>, an incremental file transfer tool.
- A major advantage to using <productname>rsync</productname> instead of
- plain <productname>cvs</> is that it
- can reliably replicate the <emphasis>entire</emphasis> CVS repository
- on your local system, allowing fast local access to <command>cvs</>
- operations such as <option>log</option> and <option>diff</option>.
- Other advantages include fast synchronization to the
- <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> server due to an efficient
- streaming transfer protocol which only sends the changes since the last
- update.

- You can download the CVS repository using this command:
-<programlisting>
-rsync -avzH --delete anoncvs.postgresql.org::pgsql-cvs cvsroot/
