Help with CVS Documentation

[Leaf]

DISCLAIMER: I'm not the most knowledgable person when it comes to using CVS, so I'm turning to all of you for help. Besides, it's much easier to copy and paste answers from here then it is to RTFM or find possible example answers from google.

Anyway...

I was working on the FAQ and other pages on the website having to do with downloading the latest CVS version of Crossfire.

Looking through the mailing lists, I found the following command:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.crossfire.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/crossfire co maps-bigworld

Okay, that's how get get the latest version of the big-world maps

For the server and client, are these correct?

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.crossfire.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/crossfire co server

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.crossfire.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/crossfire co client


I was also wondering, are there any other ways to obtain the latest CVS version? (Web browser, ftp client, etc.)


Okay, you can stop laughing now at my ignorance.

ok.. server is not valid module name - it's named "crossfire", probably for historical reasons. The valid module names can be viewed via sourceforge.net viewcvs.

Using cvs client is probably the best way. Don't forget to:

Code: Select all

$ cvs -z3 update

semi-regularly in the module directories to make sure you have the latest version
