For example, how can I list all the branches for postgresql 8.3 (and 8.4)? Now I can checkout code using: cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anoncvs:passw...@anoncvs.postgresql.org:/projects/cvsroot co -P pgsql
But I don't know when version it is, and I want get code from some postgresql 8.3 and 8.4 branches but I don't know the their cvsroot Thanks M Z On Mon, Feb 8, 2010 at 11:04 PM, M Z <jm80...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Andrew, > > Could you please give a little more detail how I can find different CVS > branches? > > Thanks, > M Z > > > > On Mon, Feb 8, 2010 at 10:38 PM, Andrew Dunstan <and...@dunslane.net>wrote: > >> >> >> M Z wrote: >> >>> Hi, >>> >>> I am trying to checkout code from different branches (such as 8.3, 8.4). >>> >>> I found a few ways to checkout code from CVS: >>> 1. webCVS: http://anoncvs.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/ >>> >>> 2. cvs -z3 -d >>> :pserver:anoncvs:passw...@anoncvs.postgresql.org:/projects/cvsroot >>> co -P pgsql >>> >>> 3. $ rsync --progress -avzCH --delete anoncvs.postgresql.org::pgsql-cvs >>> $CVSROOT >>> >>> However, how can I checkout code from different branches (such as 8.3, >>> 8.4)? >>> >> >> >> CVS is documented here, among other places: < >> http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/cvs-1.11.20/cvs.html> >> >> To check out a particular branch such as REL8_4_STABLE, use the -r option >> on the checkout command: >> >> cvs checkout -r branchname >> >> cheers >> >> andrew >> >> >> >> >> >
