Anonymous CVS access

Jun 30 2005 Note: the CVS tree has moved from pouncequick.420.am to cvs.420.am. To convert an existing checkout, change to the freeside directory and use this command:

  for a in `find . -name Root -depth -print`; do
    perl -pi -e 's/pouncequick\.420\.am/cvs.420.am/;' $a
  done

Jan 24 2006 Active branches are now HEAD and FREESIDE_1_5_BRANCH. Users accustomed to the relative stability of CVS HEAD in the last few years may wish to make sure they move from HEAD to FREESIDE_1_5_BRANCH:

  cd freeside
  cvs update -r FREESIDE_1_5_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 two active branches at this time: the default HEAD and FREESIDE_1_5_BRANCH. You can specify the FREESIDE_1_5_BRANCH with the -r FREESIDE_1_5_BRANCH option to cvs checkout.

Your CVSROOT should be set to:

:pserver:anonymous@cvs.420.am:/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.420.am:/home/cvs/cvsroot"
$ cvs login
(Logging in to anonymous@cvs.420.am)
CVS password:
$ cvs checkout -r FREESIDE_1_5_BRANCH freeside

or (csh/tcsh/etc.):

% setenv CVSROOT ":pserver:anonymous@cvs.420.am:/home/cvs/cvsroot"
$ cvs login
(Logging in to anonymous@cvs.420.am)
CVS password:
$ cvs checkout -r FREESIDE_1_5_BRANCH freeside
