how the H*** tp get cvs-emacs? (I use cmds given HERE!)

[David Combs]

Here's an attempt:



|  268 ==/dkcjunk==> cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs login
|  Logging in to :pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:2401/cvsroot/emacs
|  CVS password: 

To which prompt I simply hit <return>.

After which it just sits there.
So, I finally hit a few returns, then said "xxx":

|  
|  
|  xxx
|  cvs [login aborted]: received interrupt signal
|  269 ==/dkcjunk==> 269 ==/dkcjunk==> xxx: Command not found.
|  270 ==/dkcjunk==> cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs -t EMACS_21_3 checkout emacs
|  Unknown command: `EMACS_21_3'
|  
|  CVS commands are:

|   -> Lock_Cleanup()
|  271 ==/dkcjunk==> 
|  271 ==/dkcjunk==> 
|  271 ==/dkcjunk==> 












I also tried it without the -t:

272 ==/dkcjunk==> cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs  checkout emacs

but it just sits there, doing nothing.

Any ideas, or other cmd-strings to try?

(Please, don't ask me to *learn* cvs -- the *only* use I 
have for it is to get the "cvs" emacs!)

Thanks!

You better try

cvs -z3 -d:ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co emacs
cvs -z3 -d:ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs update emacs

There is no more pserver access.
See http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=emacs

Ok -- I went to cvshome.org, and saw this:


                                                  Domain home page (p2 of 2)
   Dec 29, 2004 [31]Texi2HTML 1.72 Released!

   Important News

   The cvshome site is currently being thoroughly cleaned as a direct
   result of an exploitative code set that attacks a cvs security
   violation. The publication of this code makes all sites running cvs
   with any remote protocol vulnerable. Use the following information to
   determine if your site is at risk and to access either a patch for
   this problem or a full source distribution with the fix included.

   We are sorry for any inconveniences you may be experiencing as a
   result of this downtime.


No last-modified-date in the header, but clearly was either
added (this msg) on or after 29dec04, or got added before
that date, but was at least seen (and left there) by whoever
added the 29dec04 cvs-released note.

Well, it's april 2005 now -- what do people do to get
a cvs-emacs these days?

  =======================================

Further, I myself (never before having any use for cvs, and probably
no use beyond grabbing a cvs-emacs) find confusing that cvs-emacs 
news the first response to my post said I should go to.

All kinds of stuff about dowloading a *software* repository, vs
a *webpage* repository, with four choices:

4 lines matching "cvs -" in buffer cvs-news-as-of-6apr05.htm.
     77:cvs -z3 -d:ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co <modulename>
     82:cvs -z3 -d:ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/webcvs/emacs co <modulename>
     93:cvs -z3 -d <membername>@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co <modulename>
     99:cvs -z3 -d <membername>@savannah.gnu.org:/webcvs/emacs co emacs


Anyway, *all* I want to do is download a cvs-emacs.tar.gz -- I don't
care *where* it comes from -- preferably from wherever *you*, Stefan,
get your own from.

Please, I really don't want to spend time learning cvs and the
details about savannah (now hacked) or wherever -- just a 
simple cookbook-like command that will get the darned thing (cvs-emacs).

Maybe, stefan, I can just grab YOUR copy?  (We could talk by phone
to synchronize the few seconds you chmod a+r your version with
my grabbing it somehow (via eg lynx's "g" cmd done at your web site).

(Can't someone make it *simple* to grab a cvs-emacs?  Like copy a good
version to some public site, no cvs needed to download it!  sure would
make it a bit more user-friendly!)

Thanks!

David

They do: cvs -z3 -d:ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co emacs

or, to save some time and internet bandwidth: cvs -z3 
-d:ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs update emacs

If you want the source archived, do afterwards: tar cjf 
emacs_22.0.50_CVS_`date +%Y-%m-%d`.tar.bz2 ./emacs.

Did you do:

CVS_RSH="ssh"
export CVS_RSH

first?

Thank you!

It worked!

Now to figure out how to "make" the thing!

  (any suggestions?)

Thanks so much!

What attempts have you made?  Have you looked through the files that
look relevant in the directory that CVS fetched?
