I hate to be the only idiot on the list. I downloaded the
NetworkManager source from the CVS database close to a month ago. I
compiled it and installed the compiled code. This version of NM
works in
out universities wireless system that uses LEAP authentication. So
why
are we still patching to get this capability.
If you downloaded from HEAD, then the LEAP patch was applied in July.
For the STABLE branch, the LEAP patch has not been applied.
Distributions are using the STABLE branch, because, of course, it's
stable.

Look let me give you some background. I will soon get my 50th year in
computer technology. When I started in this field there were no
transistors or certainly no wireless communication. 7 years ago I
finished 38 years of teaching Computer Science at the college level.
In the last years of teaching I taught the course of Computer
Communication and Networking, so I am not a complete ignoramus on the
subject, but again wireless communication when I retired was in its
infancy. During the time I was involved with teaching the technology of
managing large computer software projects CVS was not in use.
I am trying to catch up as fast as I time but there is a lot to catch up
on. So your answer might be go learn about CVS!, and I can sympathize
with that answer.
Haha, I've been learning git recently, so I know how frustrating this
kind of thing can be :) No worries.
However here is the problem. When I execute the commands:
cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/gnome login
cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/gnome co NetworkManager
I seem to be getting what is at the CVS HEAD. I haven't a clue how I get
what is at CVS STABLE. Could you enlighten me?
So with most revision control systems you can have branches which are
just like tree branches; they grow from the same source (the trunk)
but after a branch is created, it's entirely independent of every other
branch, and changes to that branch do not happen to other branches.
To checkout a branch, you:
cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/gnome co NetworkManager
-rNETWORKMANAGER_0_6_0_RELEASE
Cheers,
Dan
