Getting the latest CVS Tarball

It seems like Berlios no longer collects the latest sources of the cvs repository into a nightly tarball (anyone having a link for it??) There are two methods left to get them.

You need an installed cvs client on your local host for both of them.

Anonymous CVS Access to Berlios

Your firewall must allow cvs-pserver access to cvs.berlios.de.

    # press ENTER on CVS password:
    cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.berlios.de:/cvsroot/at76c503a login
    # After anonymously logging in:
    cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.berlios.de:/cvsroot/at76c503a co at76c503a 
    # --> creates at76c503a directory
    # Later updates in at76c503a (after logging as in step 1)
    cvs update
   

You can switch versions (0.9, 0.10, 0.11 and the kernel_2_6 branch are inside the repository):

   # get version 0.11
   cvs up -r version_0_11
   # go back to newest snapshot
   cvs up -A
   

Check your cvs info pages for a detailed description.

Download a Snapshot of the CVS Repository

If your firewall doesn't allow cvs-pserver access you can download a snapshot of the cvs repository (currently < 2 MByte) and execute:

    tar xzvf at76c503a-cvsroot.tar.gz
    mv at76c503a CVS   
    cvs -d `pwd`/CVS co at76c503a
    

This should create a working dir in at76c503a and the cvs repository in CVS.

Drawback: you must do this again for a new snapshot.
