-! Possibility 1: checkout code from CVS
|
-!! Why?
|
-CVS checkout is for you if you are a developer of Bitweaver and contribute code, __or if__ you're keen to see ''whats cookin'' ... the sooner-or-later-to-be-released code of Bitweaver and its packages.
|
-!! How?
|
-The __first step__ is to download the [http://refcards.com/author/gregoirel|one page cvs manual] and print out a collated copy for your desk. It works well as manual and beer coaster. The __second step__ is to visit ((bitweaverCVS)) for details on how our CVS is structured. Last but not least, instructions on checkout code from CVS are below.

! Possibility 2: download from /builds directory
|
-!! Why?
|
+__Why?__ |
Downloading an archive from our /builds directory is for you if you want to get the __latest official release__ or if you want to download weekly builds - __beta versions__ of Bitweaver.
|
-!! How?
|
+__How?__ |
In [/builds|our /builds directory] you find __weekly releases__ that are built by hand at arbitrary points when the codebase is pretty stable. It is always advised to get the most recent possible. Weekly builds are not production ready, but should be reliable enough to install and get familiar with the Bitweaver Framework. The [/builds|/builds directory] also holds the latest (and previous) official releases.
