Hi list! I tried to find example how to get Rosegarden from cvs. However, at least 2 times I found that SourceForge was closed for maintenance . When I finally maneged to get on mail archive search page the search did not work. I tried several times during different days. So I have couple simple questions, hopefully someone has time to answer: 1. Is SourceForge really best place for Rosegarden? My experience as user show that thing really don't run easily on sourceForge... 2. I have cvs installed on my Gentoo box now. What are the commands I should enter in order to get latest version of Rosegarden sources? I tried to select my mail subject so that other users find _easily_ this info later if someone helps me. I think Rosegarden is promising, I just wish CVS version has little less bugs than official stable version.

I quite agree - however we're close to 1.0 now and to move now would take a lot of time and effort. We're hoping the pain will be short term now! > 2. I have cvs installed on my Gentoo box now.

Follow the instructions on the sourceforge page to set up your CVSROOT environment variable and then you can just issue an: "cvs co rosegarden" to get the whole lot. > I think Rosegarden is promising, I just wish CVS version has little > less bugs than official stable version. We've come a long way since the last official version with lots of major changes - hence all the breakages. We tend (as a project) to release "lots and occasionally" as opposed to the "little and often" approach many others favour - it's not deliberate but it's just worked out that way and we give our users something to get their teeth into. Like I say the next version will be pre-beta (followed closely by a proper beta version a week or so later). R |

Which for reference means: cvs -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/rosegarden login=20 =20 (just hit Return if asked for a password), then=20 cvs -z3 -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/rosegarden=20 co modulename=20 (all on one line). Then "make -f Makefile.cvs" before you ./configure and make. Chris |

> > cvs -z3 -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/rosegarden co modulename I've wanted to ask this for a long time, but hate looking as dumb as I am... Actually, isn't it: cvs -z3 -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/rosegarden co rosegarden (on one line) All the Sourceforge projects do this, which I don't understand. Why is it that the standard CVS instructions are always set up with this generic word 'modulename' thing at the end which doesn't work for me? I find I have to choose the correct modulename or I don't get anything, but the correct modulename is not documented on this page. A couple of audio projects have used caps, or dashes, at places I didn't expect and I wasted a bunch of time figuring out what to ask for. Why wouldn't it make more sense for the Rosegarden CVS page to just write rosegarden at the end of the command? Or have I been using CVS wrong for the last 14 months? (probably...) Thanks, Mark |

Oh bah, I should have put that right in the email at least. I wasn't=20 paying attention. Yes, the module name is rosegarden; that's what you should use. The reason it's otherwise on the SourceForge page is that the page is=20 automatically generated for you by the SourceForge system, and it=20 doesn't know what your module is called. Indeed you might have=20 several modules. You're right, it's not always easy to find out what=20 module you want. Chris |

I wasn't really complaining at you, but rather just venting a little frustration with the whole CVS environment when it comes to user types like me. What a developer knows about is own project is vastly different than what a new user knows when they come poking around for the first time. Thanks for clarifying how that page gets there. I suspected as much, and that possible SF does very little to allow you to modify it for all I know. The program is looking quite good lately. Keep up the good work. Cheers, Mark |
