I’m trying to set up my test system so I can get the latest source for  
both Ruby  
1.8.5 and 1.9.x. How do I set up my CVS/SVN client to do that?

By the way, I’ve been running the Gentoo Ruby 1.8.5 pre1 for some time  
now  
without any serious incidents. But I’m not sure how old that is – I  
want the  
latest for what I’m doing.
