The lwIP TCP/IP stack is maintained in the 'lwip' CVS module and
contributions (such as platform ports) are in the 'contrib' module.
-The CVS main trunk is the stable branch, which contains bug fixes and
-tested features. The latest stable branch can be checked out by doing:
- cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/lwip login
- cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/lwip co lwip
-
-The 'STABLE' tag in the stable branch will represent the most stable
-revision (which may be somewhat older to protect us from errors
-introduced by merges). This 'STABLE' tagged version can be checked out
-by doing:
- cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/lwip login
- cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/lwip co -r STABLE lwip
-
-The 'DEVEL' branch is the active development branch, which contains
-bleeding edge changes, and may be instable. It can be checkout by doing:
- cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/lwip login
- cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/lwip co -r DEVEL lwip
-
-The current contrib CVS tree can be checked out by doing:
- cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/lwip login
- cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/lwip co contrib
+See doc/savannah.txt for details on CVS server access for users and
+developers.
Last night's CVS tar ball can be downloaded from:
- http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs.backups/lwip.tar.gz
+ http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs.backups/lwip.tar.gz [CHANGED - NEEDS FIXING]
The current CVS trees are web-browsable:

current CVS sources and is available from this web page:

+There is now a constantly growin wiki about lwIP at
+ http://lwip.wikia.com/wiki/LwIP_Wiki
+
+Also, there are mailing lists you can subscribe at
+ http://savannah.nongnu.org/mail/?group=lwip
+plus searchable archives:
+ http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/lwip-users/
+ http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/lwip-devel/
+
Reading Adam's papers, the files in docs/, browsing the source code
documentation and browsing the mailing list archives is a good way to
become familiar with the design of lwIP.
