How to download emacs from savannah.gnu.org using cvs

How to download emacs from savannah.gnu.org using cvs

[Martin Jost]

Hello,
I've been advised, to download emacs-code from savannah.gnu.org:
> Could you get the latest code from CVS on savannah.gnu.org and see if it
still fails?

It's easy enough to log in using cvs.
But I fail completely at downloading, I can't figure out the correct
module-name.

I tried '... co emacs', '... co Sources/emacs', '... co Sources/emacs/emacs'
and a bunch of other variants I got from
http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/emacs/emacs/

- What is the correct module-name for emacs ?
- How can I get a list of the module-names ? ( Is
http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/#dirlist the right place ?)

Feeling somewhat stupid ...

Martin

               ^^^^^^^^^

This one should be fine. It works for me:

$ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co
$ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co emacs

See <URL: http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=emacs> and replace
"<modulename>" with "emacs".

Bye, Reiner.

I think the above co should be a login.

Yes. C&P error. ;-)

$ cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs login
