CVS Server is up and running folks.
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.
