62You can get the latest source code by Subversion at InriaGforge:
63
64  svn checkout svn://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/mpfr/trunk mpfr
65
66or
67
68  svn checkout https://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/mpfr/trunk mpfr
69
70(the last argument can be any directory name). You can use
71
72  svn ls svn://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/mpfr/branches
73  svn ls svn://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/mpfr/tags
74
75to get the list of branches or tags (releases), then checkout a
76particular branch or tag instead of the trunk. Alternatively, you
77can now use the "https:" scheme (a.k.a. DAV) instead of "svn:".
