    I was trying to checkout the latest build from the CVS, but aparrantly you don't allow anonymous access. Is there a read-only account you let people use? I'm not interested in commiting any changes, just getting the latest build.

    Thanks,

      There is read only access, we can't block it ;)  Go to this URL:

      https://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=2271

      Or click in the CVS button at the top of the toolbar there.  You'll see some directions on how to do it.  The source module is uox3_new, some scripts are in the scripts module.  Alternatively, there's also a web based browser (where you can see compilation instructions, under uox3_new/documentation/compile.html)

      I read that, but whenever I try to log in, it says there is no such user as "anonymous". I'm using the WinCVS client, is it somehow defective?

        Hmm, fascinating.  You could always try doing this from a wincvs command line:

        cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.UOX3.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/uox3 login

        cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.UOX3.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/uox3 co uox3_new

        As far as I know, anonymous CVS access should work, and so should WinCVS (it's what I use).  But I haven't tried getting anonymous access for a long time.

      You can try Tortoise CVS too, it implements into the explorer shell and is REALLY useful for devs (no additional windows ;). well howver i'am pretty sure that anonymous access is still working i wouldn't know why it shouldn't. are you using pserver authentication and using the host cvs.uox3.sf.net ? (or cvs.sf.net ?)

      Yeah, I like that one too. Only problems with it are you need a login and having to type in the password every time you want to access something.

      Anonymous access should be working, I was using it the other week with the instructions from the cvs page.

      i downloaded 2 days ago source from cvs, it works.
      Maybe some confusion create file compile.html, in windows part there is said that login is anonymous, pass anonymous. But in Linux wersion login is anonymous, pass is blank. Only linux part is correct. password anonymous doesn't work for me

      maybe the password for the mozilla CVS is anonymous. ah btw there is the mozilla source on their FTP ftp.mozilla.org/pub/js
      you can grab a release tgz there.
