CVS with SourceForge projects

From My LiveCD

Anonymous access

If you are just trying to download the latest development copy of My LiveCD, you should use anonymous access to the CVS repository. Follow the SourceForge.net guide to using Anonymous CVS. Quite simply use the following two commands, where projectname and modulename are both mylivecd

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

Developer authenticated access

Unless you are a member of our SourceForge project you will not be able to check in your code to our repository. If you would like to obtain developer access to our CVS repositories please email one of the project administrators.

SourceForge provides CVS access over SSH (Secure shell). You will require to have CVS installed and working on your system along with an SCP (Secure copy) client.

Where projectname is mylivecd and username is your SourceForge.net username, issue the following commands and then use CVS as if you were using it for a local repository

export CVSROOT=":ext:username@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/projectname"
export CVS_RSH="ssh"

Now to checkout a latest copy of the source code use (Warning: this will create a new local directory called projectname and download the files there)

cvs checkout projectname

To submit source back to us (ensure that you are inside the working directory when you do this)

cvs commit -m "message for this update"

To update you local copy of the source

cvs up
