60You can get the latest source code by Subversion at INRIAGForge:
61
62 svn checkout svn://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/mpfr/trunk mpfr
63
64or
65
66 svn checkout https://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/mpfr/trunk mpfr
67
68(the last argument can be any directory name). You can use
69
70 svn ls svn://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/mpfr/branches
71 svn ls svn://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/mpfr/tags
72
73to get the list of branches or tags (releases), then checkout a
74particular branch or tag instead of the trunk. Alternatively, you
75can now use the "https:" scheme (a.k.a. DAV) instead of "svn:".
