proDiKi - Using CVS HowTo

These are simple instructions to get a compilable source tree from the project's CVS.
CVS sources available are currently development ones, but big care is taken to ensure they will be complete and functional every time a new modification is released. Packages are released much less often, so you can find a big diference in features and functionality since last file release, respective to CVS tree (often updated once or twice a day).

Getting started (first time)

When there's no previous source tree on your machine, you have to download the whole tree.

1. Go to the directory where you want the project's sources (for an instance, ~)
2. Write:

     cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@prodiki.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/prodiki login

   Just press Enter when asked for the password. Then, type:

     cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@prodiki.cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/prodiki co -P prodiki-dev

   This will bring all the sources to your machine.
3. That's all. Now you can follow compile instructions from step 2.

Getting updated (following times)

Once you have a source tree, you just have to update it whenever you decide to do so.

1. Go to the directory where you have the project's sources (for an instance, ~/prodiki-dev)
2. Write:

     cvs update -dP

   This will update all the sources on your machine.
3. Again, that's all. Now you can follow compile instructions from step 2.
