<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 libvirt.org git server, as the
old one is now deprecated. For the sake of old links including now-
rewritten SHA1s, we'll leave the old repository on-line for some time.
It is available as:
</p>
<pre>
git clone git://git.et.redhat.com/libvirt.git
</pre>
<p>
It can also be browsed at
</p>
<pre>
<a href="http://git.et.redhat.com/?p=libvirt.git;a=summary">http://git.et.redhat.com/?p=libvirt.git;a=summary</a>
