There are several ways to access the current XFS code.

* '''Mainline kernels'''<br /> XFS has been maintained in the official Linux kernel [http://www.kernel.org/ kernel trees] starting with Linux 2.4 and is frequently updated with the latest stable fixes and features from the SGI XFS development team.
 
* '''Vendor kernels'''<br /> All modern Linux distributions include support for XFS. SGI actively works with [http://www.suse.com/  SUSE] to provide a supported version of XFS in that distribution.
 
* '''XFS userspace'''<br /> Sgi also provides [ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs source code taballs] of the xfs userspace tools. These tarballs form the basis of the xfsprogs packages found in Linux distributions.
 
* '''CVS web'''<br /> Browse the XFS source trees.

** [http://oss.sgi.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/xfs-cmds/ xfs-cmds]
 
* '''CVS trees'''<br /> Direct CVS access to the most recent XFS changes. See below.

The cvs trees are automated mirrors of the SGI internal ptools manage source trees.
 
[http://www.cvshome.org/new_users.html CVS for new users] contains links to general CVS documentation.
 
Set the CVSROOT environment variable.

Login to the CVS server (this only needs to be done ONCE, not every time you access CVS).

Now grab the XFS source tree(s) of interest:

Using GIT trees

XFS git howto

The Git trees are automated mirrored copied of the cvs trees using git-cvsimport. Since git-cvsimport utilized the tool cvsps to recreate the atomic commits of ptools or "mod" it is easier to see the entire change that was committed using git.

git-cvsimport generated trees.

Changes headed for the main linux 2.6 tree, manual merges.

Cloning the git trees for local use:


$ git clone git://oss.sgi.com/linux-2.6-xfs-from-cvs
$ git clone git://oss.sgi.com/xfs-cmds
$ git clone git://oss.sgi.com/xfs/xfs-2.6


== XFS cvs trees

The cvs trees were created using a script that converted sgi's internal ptools repository to a cvs repository, so the cvs trees were considered read only.

At this point a new development is being managed by the git trees so the cvs trees are not longer active in terms of current development and should only be used for reference.
