     70 
     71 NOTE: At the time of the release 4.1.0, the MPFR repository is hosted at
     72 InriaForge, but it will need to migrate since InriaForge will shut down in
     73 December 2020. Please go to https://www.mpfr.org/ for the current status.
     74 What follows remains valid until the migration is done.
     75 
     76 You can get the latest source code by Subversion at InriaForge:
     77 
     78   svn checkout svn://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/mpfr/trunk mpfr
     79 
     80 or
     81 
     82   svn checkout https://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/mpfr/trunk mpfr
     83 
     84 (the last argument can be any directory name). You can use
     85 
     86   svn ls svn://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/mpfr/branches
     87   svn ls svn://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/mpfr/tags
     88 
     89 to get the list of branches or tags (releases), then checkout a
     90 particular branch or tag instead of the trunk. Alternatively, you
     91 can now use the "https:" scheme (a.k.a. DAV) instead of "svn:".
     92 For more information about Subversion, please see:
     93 
     94   * http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ (the official Subversion book);
     95   * https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/SvnHelp (written for GCC developers,
     96     but interesting general information can be found there);
     97   * http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html (the Subversion FAQ).
     98 
     99 Subversion users should read the file "doc/README.dev" (in the
    100 source tree).
