HI,

How do I get the existing code base from CVS?


http://www.apache.org/~jstrachan/geronimo/cvs-usage.html
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/cvsindex.html

I don't know tortoise-cvs though the following should work from the command line...

cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvspublic login
password: anoncvs

Hi,

It doesn't pertain to Geronimo per se, but I'm wondering why every docs about cvs (at least at Apache site) doesn't mention that the password may be specified on the command line ? Whouldn't it be simpler as the following cvs login command doesn't ask for the password, thus one doesn't need to type in the password over and over again ?

cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvspublic login

Unless I'm mistaken, performing the following command is quite enough to check out the sources (no need to cvs login):

cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvspublic -q checkout incubator-geronimo
