(1) Install a cvs client (2) Run the following command in your terminal cvs -d :ext:anoncvs at www dot octave dot org:/cvs -z 9 checkout octave That will create a directory named octave that contains all of octave. If you only want part of octave (say /scripts/time) instead of all of it, then it's cvs -d :ext:anoncvs at www dot octave dot org:/cvs -z 9 checkout octave/scripts/time (3) Subscibe to the the maintainers list.
