For those possible newcomers, or who might've not ever seen this
message, or received, or for whatever other reason, I'm reposting this so
you can find out about the CVS server, and for those of you who just need
a reminder.
Hypermail Development does have a CVS server, where we (try to)
keep the latest changes (usually it very fresh, hot out of the oven) and
anyone is welcome to use it.
Here's the original message that I posted a while back, which by
now has been somewhat edited by Daniel:

CVS Server is up and running folks. Thanks to Elliot Lee
<sopwith@redhat.com> for helping with setting it up, Daniel Stenberg
<Daniel.Stenberg@sth.frontec.se> with his contributions and everyone else
for being so patient while we make the transition from one place to another.
There is still alot of work to be done with 'The Hyper Project' as I
lovingly call it now. :) But together we'll all get there, helping one
another.
Now on to the info for the CVS server:
Address: :pserver:cvs@cvs.hypermail.yeehaw.net:/cvs/hypermail
The 'cvs' user doesn't have a password, so just hit return when it asks you
for one. Also, the cvs user only has read access, so don't try to do
anything funny. :)
For those of you who have never used a cvs server to grab sources, here's a
short rundown of the thing:
- Obtain the cvs source at http://download.cyclic.com/pub/
- Compile and install the client (you can disable the server with the
--disable-server during the 'configure' command. Read the INSTALL
file once you're uncompressed the archive)
- Once installed, set your CVSROOT enviroment to:
:pserver:cvs@cvs.hypermail.yeehaw.net:/cvs/hypermail
For sh, bash and ksh users, execute the following commands:
CVSROOT=:pserver:cvs@cvs.hypermail.yeehaw.net:/cvs/hypermail
export CVSROOT
(or you can stick them in your .profile and/or .bash_profile file)
For C shell users (csh, tcsh), you can do the following:
setenv CVSROOT :pserver:cvs@cvs.hypermail.yeehaw.net:/cvs/hypermail
(or stick it in your .cshrc and/or .login file)
- From here you can login to the server with:
# cvs login
(Logging in to cvs@cvs.hypermail.yeehaw.net)
CVS password: <-- hit RETURN (cvs user password is blank)
- Now you're ready to grab the source
# cvs checkout hypermail
This will create a mirror of the sources in your account/on your machine
called 'hypermail' that you can then compile and play with (just play
safe and clean, ok?)
- Once done, don't forget to log out:
# cvs logout
All of the above commands can be performed without having to set a CVSROOT
enviroment if you want, it's just a lot more to type in since you'll have to
specify the directory every time with:
-d :pserver:cvs@cvs.hypermail.yeehaw.net:/cvs/hypermail
eg: cvs -d :pserver:cvs@cvs.hypermail.yeehaw.net:/cvs/hypermail login
Cheers.
