[openbeos] Re: How to get sources from CVS?

I think the problem is that
cvs login
wants that you enter something. Try
echo | cvs login
maybe this works (I am in Windows, so I cannot test this).

An alternative would be to never use
cvs login/logout
and to once enter
cvs -dPATH_TO_OBOS login
in the shell.
An entry for OBOS will be added to some cvs file (don't know the name) in
your home directory. From now on
cvs -z3 co .
in the main obos cvs directory should be enough.

This is how I do it:

Open the terminal in the main obos cvs directory (~/obos). The best is to
use Summon (at bebits.com) for this.
Then enter:
> cvs -dPATH_TO_OBOS login
Maybe you must press the enter key when you are prompted to enter something.

Do NEVER logout!

From now on you can open the main obos cvs directory and just type
> cvs -z3 co .
and everything will be done automatically. You do not even have to specify
the location on the server (because it is saved somewhere in the ./CVS
folder).
The first time you 'co' the cvs tree you still have to specify the source
(either with -d or with CVSROOT) because the ./CVS folder does not exist.

Subject: [openbeos] How to get sources from CVS?


I'm trying to use a script to download the OpenBeOS CVS sources but I'm
getting connection error...

I'm using the following script
#!/bin/sh
# check out the entire CVS repository for OpenBeOS
export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvsroot/open-
beos
cvs login
cd ~/obos
cvs co .
cvs logout

there are something wrong with it ???
