Well, what *can* you access? I recommend you try: % apt-get install tla % tla my-id Peter Milliken % tla my-revision-library ~/tmp/arch-lib % tla library-config --greedy ~/tmp/arch-lib % tla register-archive http://sourcecontrol.net/~miles/miles@gnu.org--gnu-2004 % tla get miles@gnu.org--gnu-2004/emacs--cvs-trunk--0 The first 4 commands are to install&setup Arch. The last-but-one is to tell where to find Miles Bader's Arch "repository". The last one is to fetch his emacs--cvs-trunk--0 branch which the Arch version of Emacs's CVS trunk (synchronized more or less daily). Further updating of the checked out tree can be done with just % tla star-merge --three-way Stefan
