- <caution>
- <para>
- Some older versions of <productname>CVS</productname> have a bug that
- causes all checked-out files to be stored world-writable in your
- directory. If you see that this has happened, you can do something like
-<programlisting>
-chmod -R go-w pgsql
-</programlisting>
- to set the permissions properly.
- This bug is fixed as of
- <productname>CVS</productname> version 1.9.28.

-
<para>
- <productname>CVS</productname> can do a lot of other things,
- such as fetching prior revisions
- of the <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> sources
- rather than the latest development version.
- For more info consult the manual that comes with
- <productname>CVS</productname>, or see the online

- <productname>CVSup</productname> is available as source, pre-built

- build from source, primarily because the very capable, but

- <title>Installation from Sources</title>
-
- <para>
- Installing <productname>CVSup</productname> from sources is not
- entirely trivial, primarily because most systems will need to
- install a Modula-3 compiler first.
- This compiler is available as Linux <productname>RPM</productname>,
- FreeBSD package, or source code.
-
- <note>
- <para>
- A clean-source installation of Modula-3 takes roughly 200MB of disk space,
- which shrinks to roughly 50MB of space when the sources are removed.</para>
