The following are POSIX bourne shell commands you can run to get the CVS area; other shell users should be able to translate to their shell language easily. Commands with a `#' are comments; you don't have to type those. # If you are logged into to cvs.debian.org (CNAME va.debian.org): export CVSROOT=/cvs/debian-boot # If you are using `ssh' to access the area, and you have an # account on cvs.debian.org -- this is the recommended method: export CVS_RSH=ssh export CVSROOT=:ext:<MY-USERNAME>@cvs.debian.org:/cvs/debian-boot # If you are using anonymous (readonly) access: export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.debian.org:/cvs/debian-boot cvs login # You will be prompted for a password -- just hit `Enter'. # If you are using a pserver account (i.e., you need write access # but do not have a login account, and you have been given a # pserver username and password): export CVSROOT=:pserver:<USERNAME>@cvs.debian.org:/cvs/debian-boot cvs login # Enter the password you have been given.
