All
I'm struggling to get up to speed on contributing to parrot and I have various
questions:
1) Is there any way past this problem?
cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/public co parrot
...
...
U parrot/ops/var.ops
cvs server: Updating parrot/pf
U parrot/pf/pf_items.c
cvs [checkout aborted]: could not chdir to parrot/platforms: Invalid argument
I'm a cvs newbie. I've used pvcs/vss for years, so I understand the function,
but I'm struggling with cvs' myriad options.
Q. Is there an option that will pursuade cvs to carry on regardless so that I
can get most of it, if not all?
2) I sent this question previously (22 Feb 2004 20:37 GMT) but it never made it
onto the list. (I was unsubscribed!).
If I make a change in win32.c, (now: config/gen/platform/win32/exec.c) what is
the procedure (or where is this documented) to get platform.c re-generated and
compiled into parrot.exe?
The only mechanism I have found that does this is to
nmake realclean
configure.pl
nmake
which doesn't seem right somehow, but I think I've read every documentation file
at least twice and nothing has leaped of the page as to the right way to do
this.
3) Is this list now blocking unsubscribed posts since the recent spam/virus
problem? I'd prefer to be unsubscribed as I find the list easier to follow
through a news client than a flat list of unordered emails.
Thanks.
Nigel
