Re: [lcd4linux] How to get started with lcd4linux

[Robert D. <ro...@he...>]

Understood on the no time to migrate thing.  It is difficult and time  
consuming to migrate repos I know.  I tried using the command line  
cvs client but kept running into password prompts. sf.net offers anon  
access but I couldn't quite work that out so... For the sake of this  
list and future googlers here is what I did:

rsync -av rsync://lcd4linux.cvs.sourceforge.net/cvsroot/lcd4linux/* .

This worked out much better for me than CVS, and I got all of the  
files in the repo without complaint, except... All files were  
downloaded with ',v' appended to the filenames!  So here is the one- 
liner I used to deal with that:

perl -e 'foreach $old (glob "*,v"){$new = $old, $new =~ s/,v 
$//;rename $old, $new;}'

Getting it to configure is a different story.  I am still working on  
that.  Right now I am getting errors indicating my 'missing script is  
either too old or missing'.

Any ideas what that means?
