+You can get the latest source code by Subversion at InriaGforge:
+
+ 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);
+ * http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/SvnHelp (written for GCC developers,
+ but interesting general information can be found there);
+ * http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html (the Subversion FAQ).
+
+Subversion users should read the file "README.dev".
