Please go to https://www.mpfr.org/ for the current status. 74What follows remains valid until the migration is done. 75 76You can get the latest source code by Subversion at InriaForge: 77 78 svn checkout svn://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/mpfr/trunk mpfr 79 80or 81 82 svn checkout https://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/mpfr/trunk mpfr 83 84(the last argument can be any directory name). You can use 85 86 svn ls svn://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/mpfr/branches 87 svn ls svn://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/mpfr/tags 88 89to get the list of branches or tags (releases), then checkout a 90particular branch or tag instead of the trunk. Alternatively, you 91can now use the "https:" scheme (a.k.a. DAV) instead of "svn:". 92For more information about Subversion, please see: 93 94 * http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ (the official Subversion book); 95 * https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/SvnHelp (written for GCC developers, 96 but interesting general information can be found there); 97 * http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html (the Subversion FAQ). 98 99Subversion users should read the file "doc/README.dev" (in the 100source tree). 101
