Anonymous CVS access

Oct 11 2009 Active branches are now MAIN, FREESIDE_1_9_BRANCH and FREESIDE_1_7_BRANCH. To move to FREESIDE_1_9_BRANCH:

  cd freeside
  cvs update -r FREESIDE_1_9_BRANCH -d -P

Anonymous CVS access to development versions of the Freeside source code is available. You need CVS version 1.10 or higher.

There are three active branches at this time: the default MAIN, FREESIDE_1_9_BRANCH and FREESIDE_1_7_BRANCH. You can specify a branch such as the FREESIDE_1_9_BRANCH with the -r FREESIDE_1_9_BRANCH option to cvs checkout.

Your CVSROOT should be set to:

:pserver:anonymous@cvs.freeside.biz:/home/cvs/cvsroot

The password for the user `anonymous' is `anonymous'. The current tree is available as module `freeside'.

So, to check out the current tree, you would do (sh/bash/ksh/zsh/etc.):

$ export CVSROOT=":pserver:anonymous@cvs.freeside.biz:/home/cvs/cvsroot"
$ cvs login
(Logging in to anonymous@cvs.freeside.biz)
CVS password:
$ cvs checkout freeside

or (csh/tcsh/etc.):

% setenv CVSROOT ":pserver:anonymous@cvs.freeside.biz:/home/cvs/cvsroot"
$ cvs login
(Logging in to anonymous@cvs.freeside.biz)
CVS password:
$ cvs checkout freeside
