[Syllable-announce] CVS Checkin

[Kristian V. D. V. <va...@bl...>]

Hi

I've been saying it for ages, and I have (finally) checked Syllable 0.3.9 
into CVS.

This is also a test of the mailing list & my mail filter rules ;)

Obviously, you've read the CVS books etc., so you know how to check the 
source out.  You shouldn't need to check it all out, however, just the 
section you're working on.

To recap, make sure you have CVS & SSH installed, and that you have uploaded 
your identity.pub to your Sourceforge user account.  Make sure the following 
enviroment variables are set:

CVS_RSH=ssh
CVSROOT=:ext:<username>@cvs.syllable.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/syllable

Replacing <username> with your own username.  You might want to put those two 
into your .profile (or .bash_profile).

Then you can checkout a module with

cvs checkout <path to module>

E.g. to checkout the build-tools directory

cvs checkout syllable/system/build-tools

You can browse the CVS tree (Which you should do first, as its a big tree!) 
at http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/syllable/ 

You will almost certainly never need to checkout the entire tree (Only the 
build manager should need to do that, and, uh, thats me at the moment!)  If 
you're very, very, curious and want to try your own build, make sure you 
checkout the code as *anonymous* and not yourself, or you shall lock the 
entire tree!  Read /system/README as well; building Syllable from source is 
not *hard*, but its not a 100% click & go process.

Just to let you know, it seems CVS will not work correctly under 
AtheOS/Syllable; you can checkout code (I have checked out the entire 
repository as anonymous under AtheOS without any problems), but you cannot 
commit or add.  Basically, reading from CVS works, writing to CVS does not.  
My advice is to create a FAT partition & keep your code on that, and then use 
another OS to do the commits/adds/updates to the CVS tree.

Of course the real solution is to fix the TCP stack.

Remember to use syllable-developer for discussion, not syllable-announce!
