Daily checkout seeds
If you are only interested in the devel branch (also known as the HEAD or trunk) you can download a daily checkout of the devel trees from the daily checkout seeds. Once you downloaded the appropiate file, you can unpack it and issue a cvs update, thus saving time on the initial project checkout.

CVS checkout instructions
To get access to a CVS tree for anonymous read-only access, you will need to do the following: CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.fedora.redhat.com:/cvs/docs export CVSROOT cvs login (press Enter when prompted for the password)
 * set your CVSROOT variable:
 * Log into the CVS server using an empty password when asked for the anonymous password (just press Enter):

1. Check out a whole release, or the current development tree. You do this by checking out one or more of the following modules: 2. If you know the name of a package that is part of Fedora Documentation, you can request a checkout of just that package. For example: cvs checkout gtkpod
 * Checkout your desired module. There are two types of checkout actions that you can perform:
 * RHL-8 (packages published for Red Hat Linux 8)
 * RHL-9 (packages published for Red Hat Linux 9)
 * FC-1 (packages published for Fedora Core 1)
 * FC-2 (packages published for Fedora Core 2)
 * devel (packages published for the last released version of Fedora Core; currently Fedora Core 3). Also see the the daily checkout seeds for a faster way of getting started with this branch.

In the above example, you can substitute gtkpod with any other package of your choice that you know to be part of the repository. Please Note, the package name is the name of the source rpm - you will check out, not.
