| Set the CVSROOT environment variable: |
| For sh, bash, ksh, or similar shells:
$ export CVSROOT=':pserver:cvs@oss.sgi.com:/cvs' For csh or tcsh shells: $ setenv CVSROOT :pserver:cvs@oss.sgi.com:/cvs
|
| You might want to put this in your login script.
Execute the command: |
|
$ cvs login (the password is "cvs") |
| This only needs to be done ONCE, not every time you access CVS.
Now grab linux-2.4-xfs to download the development tree. |
|
Execute the following to download the development tree for the first time: |
|
$ cvs checkout linux-2.4-xfs |
| There is also a 2.5 development tree available. To check it out: |
|
$ cvs checkout linux-2.5-xfs |
| The xfs commands are now in a separate tree. |
|
$ cvs checkout xfs-cmds |
|
After you have checked the code out, you can use: |
|
$ cvs update -d |
| to update your copy to the latest version from the CVS server
and then rebuild.
You can also download XFS using CVSup. For instructions on checking the tree out of CVSup, see the CVSup download instructions. CVS for new users contains links to more documentation. |
