Version Control System Access

CVS Access

The GMOD CVS repository can be checked out through anonymous (pserver) CVS with the following instruction set. The module you wish to check out must be specified as the modulename. When prompted for a password for anonymous, simply press the Enter or Return key.

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@gmod.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gmod login
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@gmod.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gmod co modulename

See http://gmod.cvs.sourceforge.net/ for available CVS repositories.

You can then get updates with the cvs update -d command (the -d command tells CVS to get any new directories that have been added to the repository since the last update).

Please note that although we do our best not to check in malfunctioning software, the CVS versions of these packages are cutting edge and hence not guaranteed to be bug-free. Always be careful when using these packages!

Developer CVS Access via SSH

Only project developers can access the CVS tree via this method. SSH1 must be installed on your client machine. Substitute modulename and developer name with the proper values. Enter your site password when prompted.

export CVS_RSH=ssh
cvs -z3 -d:ext:developername@gmod.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gmod co modulename
