I hope you won't find this annoying.... this week is the last week I'll enjoy having a direct line to the internet... from next week on, I'll be using a sloooooooooow modem again... (that is, until the school starts in August)... anyway.. what are the chances that CVS will be up and running this week ?? (I mean, *before* the weekend) downloading the whole kernel part from the CVS would take AGES using modem... (CVS is just the whole source tree uncompressed, right?) if I had the basic tree in the first place, and just had to download changes, then I guess it would be bareable... (I hope I didn't make a fool out of myself here.....) --- Rune Elvemo --- Octagon / Digital Minds re...@gr... http://home.c2i.net/elvemo |

You can have CVS transmit compressed data with the -z option. Sourceforge recommends -z3 (the number is passed to gzip) > if I had the basic tree in the first place, and just had to download > changes, then I guess it would be bareable... I think so.

The first time you do EXPORT CVS_RSH=ssh cvs -z3 -d linux-apus.sourceforge.net:/.... co linux The next time you just do cvs -z3 update -d and it will transfer the changes only (compressed with gzip -3).

Should > be bearable with a POTS line. You can supply default arguments to cvs and the built in cvs command set in ~/.cvsrc so you don't have to type them in every time. For example: cvs -z3 update -dP checkout -P diff -u Also, update and commit work recursively from the directory you're in by default and also take filenames as arguments, so if you know what you want you don't have to check out/commit the entire tree. |
