Now you are ready for downloading, you must have established your internet connection.
Now you are ready for downloading, you must have established your internet connection.
==6. Command line==
Only once you have to type in 2 command lines. But this has to be done very carefully
without any typo, otherwise you won't be successful.
Use “Admin” from the upper menuebar, then select “Command Line...”
The command line window shows up.
a) the first time you have to type the commands into the little window.
This is always the same:
Use the [Enter] key, if your command line is too long and you have to write the rest into a
second line.
Use the [Control] + [Enter] keys if you are ready with you input.
Then press the “OK” button at the bottom of the window.
Start with:
'''cvs -d :pserver:cvsguest@cvs.flightgear.org:/var/cvs/FlightGear-0.9 login'''
Your password is '''“guest”'''. Type ''' “guest” '''(without quotation marks)
If all is ok, then you should read these messages:
''cvs -d :pserver:cvsguest@cvs.flightgear.org:/var/cvs/FlightGear-0.9 login
Logging in to :pserver:cvsguest@cvs.flightgear.org:2401:/var/cvs/FlightGear-0.9
CVS exited normally with code 0 ''
==7. ==
If the commandline window has disappeared, repeat step 6 of this manual
==8.==
Your next commandline reads if it is the FIRST time you download CVS:
'''cvs -d :pserver:cvsguest@cvs.flightgear.org:/var/cvs/FlightGear-0.9 co data'''
==9.==
Using WinCVS the SECOND time:
The login as described in (6) is much more fun as WinCVS remembers your commandline
inputs. Use the [arrow down] symbol of the “Previous” field and select the login command.
Then, as you already have a working CVS data folder the next commandline is very short:
cvs update -dP
==10.==
You have to type this again into the commandline field.
Don't use the command as shown in (8) as this would write a complete new CVS!
If you start WinCVS the third time, you'll get all the necessary commands by selecting them
from the “Previous” field.
