We allow anonymous (read-only) CVS access to everyone. The first command you
need to run for anonymous CVS access is:
<pre>
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@busybox.net:/var/cvs login</pre>
<p>
CVS will prompt you for a password. Just press the Enter key (there is no
password for anonymous access). This step only needs to be done once, the first
time you attempt to access CVS.
<p>
Once the login is complete, you can then check the list of available
CVS modules by running the following command (all on one line):
<pre>
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@busybox.net:/var/cvs co -c </pre>
<p>
If you wish, you can then check out a local copy of any of the
available modules. The following is an example of how to grab
a copy of busybox and tinylogin:
<pre>
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@busybox.net:/var/cvs co -P busybox tinylogin</pre>
This will create a directory called <b>busybox</b> and a directory called
<b>tinylogin</b> in the current directory. These directories contain the
latest and greatest source code for busybox and tinylogin.
<p>
I usually create a ~/.cvsrc file with the following things in it, and I
recommend you should use the same:
<pre>
-z3
update -dP
rdiff -u
diff -ubBwpN
checkout -P</pre>
<p>
Once you've checked out a copy of the source tree, you can update your
source tree at any time so it is in sync with the latest and greatest by
running the command:
<pre>
cvs update</pre>
Because you've only been granted anonymous access to the tree, you won't be
able to commit any changes. Changes can be submitted for inclusion by posting
them to the appropriate <a href="http://busybox.net/mailman/listinfo">mailing list</a>.
