IMHO the CVS stuff should *only* be mentioned in the Wine User Guide (and the Developers Guide would explain the more advanced usage patterns). Then it'd be pretty easy to simply add a small "For CVS download of Wine source, see <Wine Users Guide link>".
Why in Wine User Guide? Ideally, users should not have to deal with CVS at all. The *only* reason this is so it's that Wine is very immature, and changes quickly. But once we reach a stable release, this should hopefully change a little. When I open the user guide, I want it to small, and to the point -- it has to tell me the absolute minimum that I need to know to run the thing. Note: ideally, it should be so easy, and intuitive to run Wine, that we should not need a Wine User Guide!
Hmm, I guess you're right. How about we throw away CVS in User Guide and document *all* CVS management issues in the Devel Guide and simply have a reference to the Devel Guide in the Users Guide when it comes to CVS ? WineHQ would then use a link to the Devel Guide only, of course. I think that makes quite some sense.
