[Asterisk-Users] CVS Head - Obtaining Newbie Question

[Nathan Pralle]

 > Can someone explain what is meant by "CVS Head"?

Leigh,

CVS Head is the latest-and-greatest development version of Asterisk. 
CVS stands for "Concurrent Versioning System" and is the system used by 
the developers to track and coordinate changes in the programming.

You can obtain the CVS Head version of Asterisk by following the 
instructions under the "CVS repository" section of this page:
http://www.asterisk.org/download

HOWEVER -- the CVS version is the bleeding, spurting edge of 
development.  It's not recommended for production machines.  1.2 is the 
beta version and recommended for serious testing and perhaps some 
non-critical production machines.  1.0.9 is the current, stable, 
"production" level release.
