From: Ashley M. Kirchner <ashley@pcraft.com> (edited by Daniel Stenberg) CVS Server is up and running folks. Thanks to Elliot Lee <sopwith@redhat.com> for helping with setting it up, Daniel Stenberg <Daniel.Stenberg@haxx.nu> 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.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 Cheers. Addendum #1: You can also browse the repository at: http://cvsweb.hypermail.org/ Addendum #2: Pathnames have changed from /cvs/hypermail to /CVS Addendum #3: [2000.05.28] The hypermail sources got retagged with new date and times due to the server rebuild. Sorry. Addendum #4: [2000.05.30] (how many will we add?) server name changed from cvs.hypermail.yeehaw.net to simply cvs.hypermail.org.
