CVS repository

The Hurd source code is managed in the version control system CVS. You can check out the CVS repository through anonymous (pserver) CVS with the following instruction set. When prompted for a password for anoncvs, simply press the Enter key.

Source tree: cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/hurd login
 
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/hurd co hurd

Updates from within the module's directory do not need the -d parameter.

Archived snapshots

The whole source code of the Hurd is also available as a single compressed TAR file via FTP. The file ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/cvs/hurd.tgz [2.7M] contains a snapshot of the Hurd source repository which is remade daily.

Browsing the code

You can also browse the CVS repository of the Hurd with your web browser. The web pages are generated dynamically at the time you request them and are always up to date.

There is also a cross referenced database of the Hurd, GNU Mach, MiG, and the GNU C library sources online for you to browse. It provides better searching and browsing facilities than the online CVS repository, but it is not always up to date and does not contain history information.
