Getting the latest source code
XFS Released/Stable source
- Mainline kernels
XFS has been maintained in the official Linux kernel 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
All modern Linux distributions include support for XFS. SGI actively works with SUSE to provide a supported version of XFS in that distribution.
- XFS userspace
Sgi also provides source code taballs of the xfs userspace tools. These tarballs form the basis of the xfsprogs packages found in Linux distributions.

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.
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.
