Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to I've branched the CVS tree for OACS 4.5

I'm such a CVS loser :)  OK, this is what I *really* had to do to check out the 4.5 branch:
<blockquote><pre>
cvs mailto:-ddonb@openacs.org:/cvsroot -r oacs-4-5 -d openacs-4-5 -P openacs-4
</pre></blockquote>
If you want to check to make sure that things work as expected, look in one of the convenient CVS/Tag files conveniently used by CVS to track tone of the convenient CVS/Tag files conveniently used by CVS to track tags.  It should have a line that looks like "Toacs-4-5" in it.
<p>
You don't have to use "-P" (prune) with "-r" because "-r" implies it, but you should when checking out the development tree, so I just use it all the time.
<p>
To check out the development branch, try:
<blockquote><pre>
cvs mailto:-dyouraccount@openacs.org:/cvsroot -d openacs-4-devel openacs-4
</pre></blockquote>
if you want to use the directory naming convention I'm going to use for sanity's sake.
