+            <para>BitBake provides support to download files this procedure is called fetching. The SRC_URI is normally used to indicate BitBake which files to fetch. The next sections will describe th available fetchers and the options they have. Each Fetcher honors a set of Variables and
+a per URI parameters separated by a <quote>;</quote> consisting of a key and a value. The semantic of the Variables and Parameters are defined by the Fetcher. BitBakes tries to have a consistent semantic between the different Fetchers.

This Fetcher honors the variables <varname>DL_DIR</varname>, <varname>SRCDATE</varname>, <varname>FETCHCOMMAND_cvs</varname>, <varname>UPDATECOMMAND_cvs</varname>. <varname>DL_DIRS</varname> specifies where a temporary checkout is saved, <varname>SRCDATE</varname> specifies which date to use when doing the fetching, <varname>FETCHCOMMAND</varname> and <varname>UPDATECOMMAND</varname> specify which executables should be used when doing the CVS checkout or update.

The <varname>module</varname> specifies which module to check out, the <varname>tag</varname> describes which CVS TAG should be used for the checkout by default the TAG is empty. A <varname>date</varname> can be specified to override the SRCDATE of the configuration to checkout a specific date. <varname>method</varname> is by default <emphasis>pserver</emphasis>, if <emphasis>ext</emphasis> is used the <varname>rsh</varname> parameter will be evaluated and <varname>CVS_RSH</varname> will be set. Finally <varname>localdir</varname> is used to checkout into a special directory relative to <varname>CVSDIR></varname>.
