1: Downloading from Contrib
Posted by Windell Dubois on 11/07/03 06:55 PM
Is there any way that I can download packages that are on the contrib directory on CVS?
Ive tried using the cvs command, but I only got back the "not found" message, which truncated the command after a few of the same.  Still, Im interested in trying out such packages, what can I do?  can I get some help?

Thanks in Advance,

Windell.

Jade, that FAQ includes a link right back to this thread. Did you (or whoever added that FAQ) mean instead this:

https://openacs.org/forums/message-view?message_id=102448

In it, Jun provides an example cvs command to pull down a /contrib package:

cvs checkout openacs-4/contrib/bcms

Hehehe.  That is likely wrong

the path is openacs-4/contrib/packages/bcms :)

To get a listing of modules in CVS:
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@openacs.org/cvsroot checkout -c >> oacs-modules.txt 

To checkout a module in contrib:
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@openacs.org/cvsroot checkout openacs-4/contrib/packages/bcms

Jeff had a better solution: use a symlink. I've put that in the FAQ.

Ahhh. If only the FAQs were searchable...
