Hypermail CVS Server Access
----
Hypermail Development has a CVS server, where we (try to) keep the
latest changes (usually hot out of the oven) and anyone is welcome to
use it. Thanks to Elliot Lee <[email protected]> for helping with
setting it up, Daniel Stenberg <[email protected]> with his
contributions. And many thanks to Ashley M. Kirchner <[email protected]>
for hosting and managing the hypermail CVS server.
------------------------------------
Setting up the CVS software locally:
If you system does not have cvs installed on it already then you
need to do the following to install the client locally.
- Obtain the cvs source at ftp://ftp.cvshome.org/pub/
For more information on CVS stop by http://www.cvshome.org/
- 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)
------------------------------------
General information on accessing the Hypermail CVS repository:
Hypermail CVS Archive Address:
:pserver:[email protected]:/CVS
The 'cvs' user doesn't have a password, so just hit return when it
asks you for one. The cvs user is setup for read access only.
------------------------------------
Step by Step information on accessing the Hypermail CVS repository:
Aftering installing the CVS software:
- Set your CVSROOT enviroment:
For sh, bash and ksh users, execute the following commands:
CVSROOT=:pserver:[email protected]:/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:[email protected]:/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 [email protected])
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.
- 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:[email protected]:/CVS
For example, you would need to use the following to execute the login
command
cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/CVS login
cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/CVS checkout hypermail
cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/CVS logout
------------------------------------
Browsing the Hypermail CVS Archive:
You can also browse the repository at:
http://cvsweb.hypermail.org/
