          <p>
            We use <a href="http://viewcvs.sourceforge.net/">viewcvs</a>
            to provide a visual frontend to the CVS Repository. It
            allows you to browse around the repository, viewing any
            version of a file, and the differences between different
            versions. There is also a link to download the latest
            version of any section.

          <p>
            We also have a facility to allow people to keep tabs on
            what's changed recently. The following are available:
          </p>
          <ul>
            <li><a href="/cgi-bin/cvslog.cgi?period=today">Commits today</a></li>

            Anonymous CVS Access (read-only)
          </h3>
          <p>
            Anyone can access the i-scream CVS repository in anonymous
            read-only mode. The following commands will allow you
            to check out a portion of the CVS repository. To see what
            is available it is recommended that you first look at the
            web frontend.
          </p>
          <pre>
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.i-scream.org:/cvs/i-scream login
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.i-scream.org:/cvs/i-scream checkout [module]
</pre>
          <p>
            When asked for a password, simply press enter. Replace
            [module] with the section you wish to checkout.
          </p>
          <h3>
            Developer CVS Access (write)
          </h3>
          <p>
            The i-scream development team have full write access to the
            CVS repository. This is only available over SSH, and can be
            done on most clients. First the following environment
            variables need to be set.
          </p>
          <pre>
CVS_RSH = ssh
CVSROOT = :ext:username@cvs.i-scream.org:/cvs/i-scream
</pre>
          <p>
            You should know your username and password already. After
            setting these you will need to enter your password each
            time you use a CVS command. Obviously this is a time
            wasting event, so an RSA key can be generated and placed on
            the server for you. Please view the relevant ssh manpages
            on how to generate an RSA key pair.
          </p>
          <p>
            After this you will be able to work with CVS as normal.
          </p>
          <h3>
            Other means of accessing CVS
          </h3>
          <p>
            We currently provide <a href="http://www.cvsup.org/">CVSup</a>
            access to the repository, either for mirroring or for
            maintaining an up-to-date local copy. You will probably
            want to create a supfile that looks something like this;
          </p>
          <pre>
*default host=cvsup.i-scream.org
*default base=/home/user/sup
*default prefix=/home/user/i-scream
*default release=cvs
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
i-scream.cms.source tag=.
</pre>
          <p>
            The last item in that list is the collection you which to
            get. The collection "i-scream" is simply the whole
            repository, and is best used with no tag specified for
            mirroring. It is most likely that you will want to do that
            given above, which gets the latest copy of the i-scream
            source code.
          </p>
          <h3>
            CVS Statistics
          </h3>
          <p>
            There are some statistics available on the cms module
            of the CVS repository, generated by
            <a href="http://cvsplot.sourceforge.net/">cvsplot</a>,
            that allow you to see the progress of development.
            They're not that exciting, but do show when the work
            was done.
