The following requires that you are familiar with CVS - if not then look at Cyclic's pages on CVS or the excellent information provided by Pascal.Molli.
Anonymous checkout is read-only access which allows you to get the latest edits and to provide patches to be integrated into the code base. The instructions should work for both Unix and Windows, and may even work for Macs although I am not sure. Make sure you are running at least CVS 1.9 or later. Start by login as follows:
% cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@dev.w3.org:/sources/public login
after which you type "anonymous" as password.
To get the latest version from the CVS repository, run this command:
% cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@dev.w3.org:/sources/public -z3 checkout ETA
If you want to get a specific release using CVS tags then you can do this by using the the CVS "-r" option, for example
% cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@dev.w3.org:/sources/public -z3 -r Release-5-2 checkout ETA
Check the CVS log walker for the current set of release tags. If you at some point want to revert to the latest untagged version then you should use the following command:
% cd ETA % cvs -z3 update -A
You can get read/write access to the CVS repository using SSH. You setup CVS to use SSH as remote
shell by setting the CVS_RSH env variable. Using bash or similar,
it looks like this:
% export CVS_RSH=/usr/local/bin/ssh
When you are using SSH, you don't need to do a CVS login. Instead you can just go ahead checking out ETA like this
% cvs -d dev.w3.org:/sources/public checkout ETA
and you will be prompted for your SSH credentials. Again, if you want a specific revision then use something like this
% cvs -d dev.w3.org:/sources/public -r Release-5-2 checkout ETA
The Apache Group has some special notes on how to use SSH for Windows.
Once you have checked out the ETA CVS tree (not a specific revision), you can get any updates committed to the tree by using the cvs update command like this
% cd ETA % cvs -z3 update -d % cd ..
