NOTE: At the time of the release 4.1.0, the MPFR repository is hosted at
InriaForge, but it will need to migrate since InriaForge will shut down in
December 2020. Please go to https://www.mpfr.org/ for the current status.
What follows remains valid until the migration is done.

You can get the latest source code by Subversion at InriaForge:

  svn checkout svn://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/mpfr/trunk mpfr

or

  svn checkout https://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/mpfr/trunk mpfr

(the last argument can be any directory name). You can use

  svn ls svn://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/mpfr/branches
  svn ls svn://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/mpfr/tags

to get the list of branches or tags (releases), then checkout a
particular branch or tag instead of the trunk. Alternatively, you
can now use the "https:" scheme (a.k.a. DAV) instead of "svn:".
For more information about Subversion, please see:

  * http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ (the official Subversion book);
  * https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/SvnHelp (written for GCC developers,
    but interesting general information can be found there);
  * http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html (the Subversion FAQ).

Subversion users should read the file "doc/README.dev" (in the
source tree).
