Hello all,
I have decide to install edgy on my notebook and have scrapped the
vmplayer.
It was fun but very tedious and time consuming.
So far I have edgy running well and am getting to the point where I am
bringing in some of the dependencies on the howto "6:10"
I see a discrepancy in directories which I am not sure about. Tom
uses
src/XASTIR/xastir in vmplayer but other documentation for Xastir is
just
src/xastir. I don't know if any of the cvs or updates require a
specific
directory
I have created the .cvsrc file, in my "~" (above src) directory
but it does
not appear to work. When I try to perform the cvs -
d:pserver:anon.... I
get a bash: cvs command not found. Do I have to pull in a working
copy
first?
To get back to your question (I didn't see any of the replies address
this), you probably are missing the cvs package. A simple "sudo apt-
get install cvs" will install it for you.
The name of the directory doesn't matter. I just use ~/xastir here.
As to using sudo vs a root login, it took me a while to get used to
it, but I no longer mind that. It has probably saved my bacon more
than once :^)
I have used Slackware, Red Hat and Debian extensively over the past 12
+ years (and tried a few more). I am currently running Ubuntu on two
machines and OS X (which is based on FreeBSD and also uses sudo) on
another. I have been using Xastir for around 8 years.
