 <p>libhid is available through various ways. In the following, we list the

+The CVS version history is available in the Subversion repository as

+
+<p>To check out the latest version of libhid into the directory
+<code>libhid-svn</code>, ensure that Subversion is installed, and use the
+following command:</p>
 
 <code>
-cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.ailab.ch:/home/cvs/external login<br />

+<p>To retrieve a particular released (or otherwise tagged) version of
+libhid, simply modify the checkout URL. You may have to browse with
+viewcvs (see below) to find the exact tag name. As an example, let's
+retrieve version 0.2.7-1:</p>
+
+<code>
