Linux XFS: CVS Download Instructions

The first command  is:

sh bash ksh etc...: $ export CVSROOT=':pserver:cvs@oss.sgi.com:/cvs' csh tcsh....:   $ setenv CVSROOT  :pserver:cvs@oss.sgi.com:/cvs

You might want to put this in your login script.   Then do the command:

$ cvs login (the password is "cvs")

This only needs to be done only ONCE, not everytime you access CVS.  Now grab linux-2.3-xfs. The first time you will want to do something like:

$ cvs -z3 checkout linux-2.3-xfs

Now you will want to go through follow the build process, according to the file README.build in the top level directory.  After you have checked the code out, you can use:

$ cvs -z3 update -d

to update your copy  to the latest version from the CVS server.  and rebuild. A CVS FAQ contains links to more CVS documentation.
