        <h1>Downloads</h1>
        <h2>Official Releases</h2>
        <p>
      The latest versions of the libvirt C library can be downloaded from:
    </p>
        <ul><li><a href="ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/">libvirt.org FTP server</a></li><li><a href="http://libvirt.org/sources/">libvirt.org HTTP server</a></li></ul>
        <h2>Hourly development snapshots</h2>
        <p>
      Once an hour, an automated snapshot is made from the git server
      source tree. These snapshots should be usable, but we make no guarantees
      about their stability:
    </p>
        <ul><li><a href="ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/libvirt-git-snapshot.tar.gz">libvirt.org FTP server</a></li><li><a href="http://libvirt.org/sources/libvirt-git-snapshot.tar.gz">libvirt.org HTTP server</a></li></ul>
        <h2>GIT source repository</h2>
        <p> Libvirt code source is now maintained in a <a href="http://git-scm.com/">git</a> repository available on
      <a href="http://libvirt.org/git/">libvirt.org</a>:
    </p>
        <pre>

      git clone git://libvirt.org/libvirt.git
    </pre>
        <p>
      It can also be browsed at
    </p>
        <pre>

      <a href="http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=summary">http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=summary</a>
    </pre>
        <h2>CVS repository access (Deprecated) </h2>
        <p>
      The master source repository used to be under <a href="http://ximbiot.com/cvs/cvshome/docs/">CVS</a>
      with anonymous access at:
       </p>
        <pre>

      # cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@libvirt.org:2401/data/cvs co libvirt
    </pre>
        <p> The server is maintainened temporarilly for existing uses, but all
      changes are only commited to git now and we expect to deprecate the CVS
      server during summer 2009. </p>
        <h2>Building from a source code checkout</h2>
        <p> The libvirt build process uses GNU autotools, so after obtaining a
    checkout it is necessary to generate the configure script and Makefile.in
    templates using the <code>autogen.sh</code> command, passing the extra
    arguments as as for configure. As an example, to do a complete build and
    install it into your home directory run:</p>
        <pre>

      ./autogen.sh --prefix=$HOME/usr
      make
      make install
    </pre>
        <h2>GIT repository mirror</h2>
        <p>
      Jim Mereying was maintaining a CVS to git mirror on
      <a href="http://git.et.redhat.com/?p=libvirt.git">git.et.redhat.com</a>.
      Existing users should migrate to the new git server, as the
      old one will be deprecated and turned into a mirror of the
      libvirt.org one. It's available as:
    </p>
        <pre>

      git clone git://git.et.redhat.com/libvirt.git
    </pre>
        <p>
      It can also be browsed at
    </p>
