<p>The most recent released version of groff is always
available by
<a href="ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/groff">anonymous ftp</a>.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 1em">The current development version
of groff is available from a
<a href="http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=groff">CVS repository</a>.
You can access it by first selecting a parent directory in
which to create a working copy (call it, say, ~/cvswork),
and then executing the commands</p>
<pre style="margin-left:3%; margin-top: 1em">cd ~/cvswork
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org/sources/groff -z5 co groff</pre>
<p style="margin-top: 1em">This creates a subdirectory,
~/cvswork/groff, with a ‘checked out’ copy of
the CVS repository. An update of this working copy may be
achieved, at any later time by invoking the commands</p>
<pre style="margin-left:3%; margin-top: 1em">cd ~/cvswork/groff
cvs -z5 update -dP</pre>
<p style="margin-top: 1em">Please read the CVS info pages
for further details.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 1em">Finally, it is possible to
access the CVS with a
<a href="http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=groff">web browser</a>.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 1em">Alternatively, you can download
snapshots (which are updated twice a day). The complete
groff source as a single file is available
<a href="http://groff.ffii.org/groff/devel/groff-current.tar.gz">here</a>.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 1em">A diff file relative to
groff-⟨version⟩, the latest official groff release
is available at</p>
<p style="margin-left:3%; margin-top: 1em"><tt>http://groff.ffii.org/groff/devel/groff-⟨version⟩-current.diff.gz</tt></p>
<p style="margin-top: 1em">Assuming that
groff-⟨version⟩.tar.gz and
groff-⟨version⟩-current.diff.gz are in the same
directory, do the following to apply the diff file:</p>
<pre style="margin-left:3%; margin-top: 1em">tar xzvf groff-⟨version⟩.tar.gz
cd groff-⟨version⟩
gunzip -c ../groff-⟨version⟩-current.diff.gz | patch -p1</pre>
