Downloading Caravel from CVS

cvs is available. First do:
export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@caravel.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/caravel
export CVS_RSH=ssh

Then change to your location of choice and:

cvs login
cvs -z3 co -P caravel

Please DON'T check out caravel in /usr/local ... the install.sh will automatically copy it there, and if it is there already then it will try to do an upgrade!

Note that cvs is not officially supported and you may run into trouble when it comes to upgrades.  Following the caravel-devel  mailing list may help.
