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. :)
Currently imported sources are hypermail-2b3, -2b13 and -2a14.
All three are accesible by the cvs user.
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 for whichever hypermail version
you want, 2b3, 2b13 or 2a14 (thanks to Daniel):
# cvs checkout hypermail-<version>
This will create a mirror of the sources in your account/on your
machine called 'hypermail-<version>' 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
ej: cvs -d :pserver:cvs@cvs.hypermail.yeehaw.net:/cvs/hypermail login
Cheers.
