To access the current CVS baseline follow the information below: Address: :pserver:cvs@cvs.hypermail.org:/CVS 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.org:/CVS For sh, bash and ksh users, execute the following commands: CVSROOT=:pserver:cvs@cvs.hypermail.org:/CVS 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.org:/CVS (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.org) 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.org:/CVS eg: cvs -d :pserver:cvs@cvs.hypermail.org:/CVS login Additionally, you can also browse the repository at: http://cvsweb.hypermail.org/
