If you want the whole SPECS tree, run cvs up in the SPECS directory, and it’ll download the ten thousand-odd spec files.
If you make changes, run the ./adapter script on the spec to check for sylistic glitches. Make sure that adapter is sane, though, since it can be over-aggressive. If the changes are generally useful, send the new spec (or better, a diff — one can be made with cvs diff file.spec) to the PLD developer’s list
