ATM on Linux distribution up to version 0.79
which was released under the

Users are encouraged to continue to use the releases instead of automatically
assuming they should grab the latest version out of CVS. However,
if you like living on the edge, here is how to do it.
First, log in anonymously:
Just hit return when prompted for a password. Then, checkout the repository:
You may also specify a branch to check out specifically:
In either case, this will create a directory called "linux-atm" with the latest sources in it. When working inside this directory you will not need to
specify the '-d' option to CVS. For instance, you could just do
To grab any changes that have been put in the repository (the '-d' option in
the above example is to the "up" sub-command and is different than the
'-d' used to specify the CVS root directory)
After you have checked out the source tree, you will need to run the
autotools script in the top level directory before
you can configure, build, and install from that source tree:
If you wish to
create a tarred, gzipped distribution file or a RPM distribution file, run
make dist or make rpm
respectively. The tarred, gzipped file will be placed in the top level of
the source tree and the RPM file will be placed in the
src/extra/RPMS directory.
The CVS archive may also be browsed on the web at:
http://cvs.linux-atm.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/linux-atm/linux-atm/.
Finally, if you would like to receive email including every diff that is committed to the repository as they go in, there is a mailing list called
"linux-atm-commits":
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-atm-commits.
This mailing list should be treated as receive-only. NO discussion or questions are allowed (even of patches which are sent through that list). All
discussion should be kept on the linux-atm-general mailing list.
