Instructions in FAQ for anonymous CVS don't seem to work

[Reuben T. <rr...@sc...>]

I followed the instructions in the FAQ for getting to anonymous CVS, and 
they don't seem to work (nor do they tell you what password to use for 
cvs login).

It would be better just to include a link to SourceForge's instructions 
on how to get anonymous CVS (or copy the commands from there), at:

http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=2055

The instructions at http://www.gnuplot.info/development/index.html#DownloadCVS
are similarly problematic.

Looking closer, the problem you have is just that your instructions are 
out of date (they talk about cvs.gnuplot.sourceforge.net instead of 
cvs.sourceforge.net), but the SourceForge instructions involve only two 
commands, and don't mess with the user's environment, so may be 
considered superior:

cvs -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/gnuplot login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/gnuplot co -P gnuplot
