[edit] How to access the CVS

With anonymous CVS access you can get or update the current FreeMiNT branch, or you can trace down any change or checkout old versions of any file.

If you would like to help develop FreeMiNT, you can get write access to the CVS repository and then you are able to commit changes directly to the current FreeMiNT branch.

How to access the CVS repository:

  • You need a computer with an installed cvs version
  • You need online internet access to the FreeMiNT CVS server

The CVS server is accessed through the "pserver" method. Best take a look into the CVS online manual for more informations.

Now open a shell and type: 

export CVSROOT=:pserver:cvsanon@sparemint.org:/mint
 cvs login
# (Logging in to cvsanon@sparemint.org)
# CVS password:

Now type 'cvsanon' as password. If all is ok you get a prompt without any additional message. If something goes wrong you get an error message.

Now you can checkout a working copy of the current FreeMiNT branch with: 

cvs checkout freemint

or update an older working copy with: 

cvs update -d -P

If you want to checkout the 1.16 branch just type: 

cvs co -r branch-1_16 -d branch-1.16 freemint

For more informations please look first at the CVS online manual.
