I always use the following two commands to grab the latest version after
creating the .cvsrc​ file as explained in the notes at the link above.

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at xastir.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/xastir login

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at xastir.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/xastir co xastir

I don't have a Mac, so I'm not sure what the best method is for retrieving
dependent packages.
