The project's CVS repository is hosted on <a href=
- "http://sourceforge.net/" target="_top">SourceForge.</a> Please
- refer to the chapters 6 and 7 in <a href=
- "http://sourceforge.net/docman/?group_id=1" target="_top">SF's site
- documentation</a> for the technical access details for your
- operating system. For historical reasons, the CVS server is called
- <tt class="LITERAL">ijbswa.cvs.sourceforge.net</tt>, the repository
- is called <tt class="LITERAL">ijbswa</tt>, and the source tree
- module is called <tt class="LITERAL">current</tt>.

mentioned, the sources are in the <tt class="LITERAL">current</tt>
<span class="QUOTE">"module"</span>. Other modules are present for
platform specific issues. There is a webview of the CVS hierarchy
- at <a href="http://ijbswa.cvs.sourceforge.net/ijbswa/" target=

- Branches are used to fork a sub-development path from the main
- trunk. Within the <tt class="LITERAL">current</tt> module where the
- sources are, there is always at least one <span class=
- "QUOTE">"branch"</span> from the main trunk devoted to a stable
- release series. The main trunk is where active development takes
- place for the next stable series (e.g. 3.2.x). So just prior to
- each stable series (e.g. 3.0.x), a branch is created just for
- stable series releases (e.g. 3.0.0 -> 3.0.1 -> 3.0.2, etc).
- Once the initial stable release of any stable branch has taken
- place, this branch is <span class="emphasis"><i class=
- "EMPHASIS">only used for bugfixes</i></span>, which have had prior
- testing before being committed to CVS. (See <a href=
- "newrelease.html#VERSIONNUMBERS">Version Numbers</a> below for
- details on versioning.)

At one time there were two distinct branches: stable and unstable.
<p>
The source tree is the heart of every software project. Every
effort must be made to ensure that it is readable, compilable and
- consistent at all times. There are differing guidelines for the
- stable branch and the main development trunk, and we ask anyone
- with CVS access to strictly adhere to the following guidelines:
+ consistent at all times. We expect anyone with CVS access to

Basic Guidelines, for all branches:
Note that near a major public release, we get more cautious.
There is always the possibility to submit a patch to the <a
