7.2. The not so easy way (get them by cvs)
DotNetProcessing sources are hosted in Sourceforge CVS servers. CVS is a tool used by many software developers to manage changes within their source code. That means many developers can work concurrently on the source code having the most up to date changes at any time. When one developer tries to update some changes on a file that previously has been modified by another developer, the cvs server alerts of this situations and the developer has to revise both changes and send a working version to the cvs server.
The best way to understand what all this is about is read some CVS information on the Sourceforge page:
There are basically two access modes to the sources (anonymous and authenticated). The difference is that authenticated access permits uploading changes to the cvs server. To be an authenticated user you have to create a Sourceforge account and ask for appropriate privileges to the DotNetProcessing administrators.
