Hi David,

Is there any way I can arrange for CVS download access of base-3.14?
As I'm making the changes to get netBSD online, would like to keep
updated with latest stuff.

For historical and security reasons we don't have a read-only CVS
repository available, and read-write access is even more problematic for
us. I'm hoping to switch and be able to provide access to a subversion
repository at some point in the future, but that's part of a larger
project which needs approval and a separate server machine (don't hold
your breath). For now your best bet is to make use of one of the
nightly CVS snapshots that are available - there should be no need to
keep downloading it though since EPICS Base isn't change very quickly at
the moment, and I don't forsee any difficulty in merging your changes
back into the official release if you're working from that version,
especially since you're probably only going to be adding new files.
I would not recommend using the Trunk - there are changes in there that
will not see the light of day for quite a long time, and we don't
guarantee that it will build. When you post your patches, we will
incorporate them into both the R3.14 branch and the main trunk.
