To: hackers@freebsd.org Date: Thu, 25 Jul 1996 11:19:13 -0500 (CDT) From: "Karl Denninger, MCSNet" X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi folks, Ok, we've taken the plunge and supped the CVS tree to a new system which is going to be our "codebase" machine. Now, the question is, how does one use CVS to grab those bits? I know how to do a "make release" when the time comes, but I want to check out current, upgrade the current software on the box (2.1.0-release) to -CURRENT, and have a platform from which I can build kernels and such for both current and stable. Possible? Tutorials anywhere? Where do I get the list of collections and common commands? I expect to be mirroring the CVS tree nightly, and can probably arrange to serve it as well if people want -- the machine its on is a 200Mhz Pentium Pro and should have lots of free cycles. -- -- Karl Denninger (karl@MCS.Net)| MCSNet - The Finest Internet Connectivity http://www.mcs.net/~karl | T1 from $600 monthly; speeds to DS-3 available | 23 Chicagoland Prefixes, 13 ISDN, much more Voice: [+1 312 803-MCS1] | Email to "info@mcs.net" WWW: http://www.mcs.net/ Fax: [+1 312 248-9865] | Home of Chicago's only FULL Clarinet feed!
