CVS is here

[Suhaib Siddiqi <s_m_siddiqi at yahoo dot com>]

The source tree for Cygwin/XFree is now available via
CVS.

To access the repository, you'll need to set the
CVSROOT environment
variable
as in these examples (if you are using a different
shell, you'll have to
figure it out yourself):

95/NT	set   
CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.cygnus.com:/cvs/src
bash	export
CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.cygnus.com:/cvs/src
csh	setenv CVSROOT
:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.cygnus.com:/cvs/src

Once you've done that, you need to tell your local cvs
software what
password to use.

The password is the word anoncvs :

bash$ cvs login
(Logging in to anoncvs@anoncvs.cygnus.com)
CVS password: anoncvs

Note: Windows users may need to make sure the HOME
environment variable is
set to something meaningful.
After this, you shouldn't have to worry about
passwords any more, as it will
store your
password in $HOME/.cvspass (semi-encoded). In other
words, don't type "cvs
login" again.

To get the Cygwin/XFree sources, do this:

bash$ cvs co src/cygwin-xfree

This will create a subdirectory called src and fill it
with the core
sources.
Once you have the latest sources, "cvs update" will
get any changes since
your last update.
