+<h3>Anonymous CVS</h3>
We allow anonymous (read-only) CVS access to everyone. The first command you
need to run for anonymous CVS access is:
<pre>
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@busybox.net:/var/cvs login</pre>
<p>
-CVS will prompt you for a password. Enter the password <b>anonymous</b>
-and press the Enter key. This step only needs to be done once, the first
+CVS will prompt you for a password. Just press the Enter key (there is no
+password for anonymous access). This step only needs to be done once, the first
time you attempt to access CVS.
<p>
-Once the login is complete, you can then check which modules
-are available for checkout by running the following command (all on one line):
+Once the login is complete, you can then check the list of available
+CVS modules by running the following command (all on one line):
<pre>
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@busybox.net:/var/cvs co -c </pre>
<p>
-You can then check out any of the available modules. The following is
-an example of how to grab a copy of busybox and tinylogin:
+If you wish, you can then check out a local copy of any of the
+available modules. The following is an example of how to grab
+a copy of busybox and tinylogin:
<pre>
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@busybox.net:/var/cvs co -P busybox tinylogin</pre>
This will create a directory called <b>busybox</b> and a directory called
<b>tinylogin</b> in the current directory. These directories contain the
latest and greatest source code for busybox and tinylogin.
+<p>
+If you are not already familiar with using CVS, I recommend you visit
+this quick <a href="/cvs_howto.html">Introduction to CVS</a>.
+
+<p>
+I usually create a ~/.cvsrc file with the following things in it, and I
+recommend you should use the same:
+<pre>
+ -z3
+ update -dP
+ rdiff -u
+ diff -ubBwpN
+ checkout -P</pre>
+
<p>
Once you've checked out a copy of the source tree, you can update your
source tree at any time so it is in sync with the latest and greatest by
running the command:
<pre>
-cvs -z3 update -d -P</pre>
+cvs update</pre>
Because you've only been granted anonymous access to the tree, you won't be
able to commit any changes. Changes can be submitted for inclusion by posting
-them to the appropriate <a href="http://busybox.net/mailman/listinfo">mailing list</a>.
