Stable releases If you are using Hermes in your own graphics library you will probably want to link against a stable version unless you need some fancy features that are not included in those releases. The lates stable release will always have an even second number in its version number. Get it right here: Hermes-1.2.5.tar.gz (source, 246k) Hermes-1.2.5.zip (source, 294k) Hermes-1.2.5-1.i386.rpm (100k, redhat package) hermes1_1.2.5-2_i386.deb (library) and hermes1-dev_1.2.5-2_i386.deb (header files) (~40k each, debian packages) You might be interested in the changes since the last version.. If this new release does not seem to work on your system, please see the Documentation page for contacts. Development releases In proper Linux fashion, developer releases have an uneven number in the middle of the version number. They are provided as test releases for new features but are not as extensively tested as stable releases and normally will have a different interface (and thus might not work with your application). However, they're normally cool and you're free to use them. No development release at the moment CVS Source Tree There is a CVS tree with the most up to date working versions of Hermes in it. Feel free to check them out but be aware of the fact that they might not even compile. Here are you instructions: Set the CVSROOT environment variable to: `:pserver:anoncvs@hermes.terminal.at:/usr/local/cvsroot` You can use the following commands to do this: BASH: `export CVSROOT=':pserver:anoncvs@hermes.terminal.at:/usr/local/cvsroot'` CSH: `setenv CVSROOT ':pserver:anoncvs@hermes.terminal.at:/usr/local/cvsroot'` It is probably a good idea to just cut&paste the one you need into an xterm. Next, login, type: 'cvs login'. When queried for the password, type 'anoncvs'. Now you are ready to check out Hermes, type `'cvs -z3 checkout Hermes'`. That will get you the newest sources. Once in a week you can then go to the Hermes/ directory this creates and type `'cvs -z3 update'`. That will bring your private source tree up to date.
