    No! Try the latest "development" package instead! :-)

    _I_ think it is! ;-)

    CVS stands for Concurrent Versions System. It's built on top of
    RCS, so you need both installed.

    Here's what you can do as a user. Following are two LONG lines, so
    if your e-mail is wrapping them, unwrap them before typing. They
    will create an "xastir" directory where you are sitting and populate
    it with the latest sources:

    cvs -d:pserver:terhi.victor@logonet.com:/cvsroot/xastir login

    cvs -z3 -d:pserver:terhi.victor@logonet.com:/cvsroot/xastir co xastir

    When prompted for a password for anonymous, press the Enter key.

    Ok. Now that you have Xastir sources sitting there (wasn't that
    easy?), you can do this:

        cd xastir
        ./configure
        make
        make install-strip;chmod 4555 /usr/local/bin/xastir

    Now you have Xastir installed.

    To update to the latest developers code, you do this:

        cd xastir
        cvs update
        make install-strip;chmod 4555 /usr/local/bin/xastir

    The "cvs update" part takes only a few seconds, 'cuz it just snags
    down the patches to the code, and not the whole stinkin' sources.
    It makes it very fast/easy to keep up with the latest. You can do a
    cvs update immediately after a developer anywhere in the world has
    submitted changes, and you'll get them. How's that for up-to-date
    code!

    Some people do an update every day. If changes come down, they
    compile/install. The codebase moves pretty fast sometimes.
