How do I check out GStreamer from CVS ?
</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>
GStreamer is hosted on Freedesktop.org. GStreamer consists of various parts.
In the beginning, you will be interested in the "gstreamer" module, containing
the core, and "gst-plugins", containing the basic set of plugins.
</para>
<para>
To check out the HEAD version of the core, use
<programlisting>
cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@cvs.freedesktop.org:/cvs/gstreamer co gstreamer
</programlisting>
This will create a directory "gstreamer" in your current directory.
If you want to get another module, replace the last "gstreamer" with the
name of the module.

If you want to gain developer access to GStreamer CVS, you should ask for
it on the development lists, or ask one of the maintainers directly.
If you are not already a registered developer with a user account on
Freedesktop.org, You will then have to provide them with:
<orderedlist>
<listitem><para>your desired unix username</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>your full name</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>your e-mail address</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>a copy of your public sshv2 identity. If you do not have this yet, you can generate it by running "ssh-keygen -t dsa". The resulting public key will be in .ssh/id_dsa.pub</para></listitem>
</orderedlist>
