+

+
+        http://developer.gnome.org/tools/svn.html
+
+In order to get SVN gtk+ installed on your system, you need to have
+the most recent SVN versions of glib, pango, and atk installed as well.
+The installation process of these libraries is similar to that of gtk+, but
+needs to be fulfilled prior to installation of gtk+.
+
+If at all possible, please use SVN to get the latest development version of
+gtk+ and glib.  You can do the following to get glib and gtk+ from SVN:
+
+        $ svn checkout http://svn.gnome.org/svn/glib/trunk glib
+        $ svn checkout http://svn.gnome.org/svn/pango/trunk pango
+        $ svn checkout http://svn.gnome.org/svn/atk/trunk atk
+        $ svn checkout http://svn.gnome.org/svn/gtk+/trunk gtk+
+
+To compile the SVN version of gtk+ on your system, you will need to take
+several steps to setup the tree for compilation.  You can do all these
+steps at once by running:
+
+        gtk+$ ./autogen.sh
    
 Basically this does the following for you:
 
-  	cvsroot/gtk+# aclocal; automake; autoconf
-        cvsroot/gtk+/glib# aclocal; automake; autoconf
+        gtk+$ aclocal; automake; autoconf
 
-        The above commands create the "configure" script.  Now you
-	can run the configure script in cvsroot/gtk+ to create all
-	the Makefiles.  You only need to call "configure" in cvsroot/gtk+ 
-	as the one in glib will be invoked automatically.
+The above commands create the `configure' script.  Now you
+run the `configure' script in `gtk+/' to create all Makefiles.  
+More information about that in `INSTALL'.
 
-Before running autogen.sh or configure, make sure you have libtool 
+Before running `autogen.sh' or `configure', make sure you have libtool

 Note that autogen.sh runs configure for you.  If you wish to pass
-options like --prefix=/usr to configure you can give those options
-to autogen.sh and they will be passed on to configure.

-If at all possible, please use CVS to get the latest development version of

-
-   $ export CVSROOT=':pserver:anonymous@cvs.gimp.org:/debian/home/gnomecvs'
-   $ cvs login
-     (there is no password, just hit return)
-   $ cvs -z9 checkout gtk+

-Please submit patches to the gtk-list@redhat.com mailing list (you must
