I'm a complete novice to CVS. I remember I used it once, but the particular site told me exactly what I needed to type in at the prompt, set my CVSHOME or something, the command-line switches and everything, and it downloaded a nice fat tarball for me.
Now, unfortunately, this site gives me no help whatsoever. I want to download all the source code but, unfortunately, I can't figure out how to download anything except for actually finding and clicking the "download" button for every single file. Not a fun experience. So, I humbly petition the UUG for help. I presume I'm supposed to know a username/password or something, but I have nothing. All I want to do is download all the files in a relatively easy and quick way. The site can be found here: http://bunny.darktech.org/cvs/im-arabic-transliterated/ Man pages, help files, not even Google searches have helped me--they all assume I know at least /something/ about CVS (an obviously false assumption). Thanks in advance, everyone, Ross p.s. while I'm on the subject of CVS, this is slightly off-topic but I remember some BYU people working on Open Source genealogy software back in the day ... my [extended] family works on these big huge genealogy files and needs some easy way to coordinate their work. I often contemplated using CVS or something like it, but again I'm totally ignorant of such things. They used to use PAF, but I think they've switched to some new program because it was easier to coordinate. Has anybody done anything similar or have ideas of what they could use? ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
