How to fetch current source from CVS.

This is a little howto explaining how to access CVS and fetch current code source under Windows(tm). Note that this is the case of anonymous access, fetch-only : if you want to submit changes, you must have a developer account. In order to get this, contact me, and then read the "Developer CVS Access via CVS" section of this page ;)

1. Download TortoiseCVS and install it. You may have to reboot to complete installation.

2. Create a folder somewhere on your hard disk : for exemple, call it "samoth". Then, move into, and click right : choose the new option "CVS checkout" (or "CVS Emprunter", in the french version)

3. Fill the two required fields :
CVSROOT : :pserver:anonymous@samoth.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/samoth
Module : buri
And click "OK"

4. Wait for the end of the download. Now, you've got the source tree.

Under GNU/Linux (cf . this page) :

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@samoth.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/samoth login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@samoth.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/samoth co -P buri
