# Package versioning
The TinyOS packages are built from the TMI
-[TinyOS repository](http://repo/gitweb/?p=tinyos-2.x.git;a=summary). The
+[TinyOS repository](/gitweb/?p=tinyos-2.x.git;a=summary). The
package version number is of the form `tosver-tmiver`, where `tosver` is the
official TinyOS release version on which the code is based, and `tmiver` is the
version of the modifications applied by TMI. Released APT package versions are
associated with tags in the source code repository. Consider the latest
-package version, 2.1.0-3, for which these tags exist in the repository:

# Multiple source trees
-Often it is impractical to maintain an older application by porting it forward
+Often it is impractical to maintain older applications by porting them forward
to the latest TinyOS version. The TMI approach allows multiple TinyOS trees
to be installed simultaneously, thereby allowing different applications to be
compiled against different TinyOS versions.
The official TinyOS installs the source tree at `/opt/tinyos-2.x`. The TMI
version installs source trees at `/opt/tinyos/VER`. For example, the latest
-TMI tree is installed at `/opt/tinyos/2.1.0-3`. TMI also maintains in its

repository the last few official source trees. At least one must be installed,
and the developer may install others as needed. When installing or upgrading
TMI TinyOS packages via APT, the latest TMI tree package is automatically

+csh) so that your tree selection is persistent across logins.
+
+Another option is to check out a TinyOS source tree at another location,
+preferably in a user-private directory. This would allow development within the
+TinyOS source in a saner manner than modifying a 'released' tree found in /opt/.
+The tinyos.sh script in the TMI tinyos package also supports this capability.

# Installing TinyOS
By default, the latest TinyOS source tree, with TMI enhancements, and the TMI
[[msp430]] toolchain are installed. At this point, additional tinyos source
-trees may be installed as required. For example:

+You may also install the AVR compiler for TinyOS by typing:
+
+ sudo apt-get install tinyos-avr
