The XEmacs project is - more slanted towards a cathedral organization, with all patches to - the core code going through a central moderator rather than being - directly applied to the codebase. This is why all access to the - core trees is read only. But even with no ability to commit your - changes to the tree, CVS gives you a painless way to upgrade between - versions, as well as a way to easily track what changes you have - made to your local copy.</p> + track of older versions (natch) but also allows spiffy things like + separate branches for concurrent development and coordination + services for large numbers of developers. CVS is currently the + defacto industry standard source code control system for open source + software projects. Knowledge of CVS and ssh are becoming required + skills in the free software community. Regular contributors to + XEmacs are strongly encouraged to get CVS write access to the source + repository.

XEmacs + source code maintenance is basically organized on the bazaar model - + we'd like to have as many people as possible, including + <strong>you</strong>, making high quality contributions to the + source code, in parallel. But even if you are just a lurker with no + desire to make any modifications to the tree, CVS gives you a + painless way to upgrade between versions.</p> <p>Be warned that these trees are large! XEmacs 21 sources will take up almost 40 MB of hard drive space, before compilation. Add
