access to Xen control tools CVS

[Harry Butterworth]

Mike, I tried the wiki instructions to get access to your cvs repository
but they didn't work:

harry@vaughan:~/Xen/Wray$ export CVS_RSH="/usr/bin/ssh"
harry@vaughan:~/Xen/Wray$ export
CVS_ROOT=":ext:anoncvs@gandalf.hpl.hp.com"
harry@vaughan:~/Xen/Wray$ cvs co -c
cvs checkout: No CVSROOT specified!  Please use the `-d' option
cvs [checkout aborted]: or set the CVSROOT environment variable.
harry@vaughan:~/Xen/Wray$ export
CVSROOT=":ext:anoncvs@gandalf.hpl.hp.com"
harry@vaughan:~/Xen/Wray$ cvs co -c
cvs checkout: CVSROOT requires a path spec:
cvs checkout: :(gserver|kserver|
pserver):[[user][:password]@]host[:[port]]/path
cvs checkout: [:(ext|server):][[user]@]host[:]/path
cvs [checkout aborted]: Bad CVSROOT: `:ext:anoncvs@gandalf.hpl.hp.com'.
harry@vaughan:~/Xen/Wray$ export
CVSROOT=":ext:anoncvs@gandalf.hpl.hp.com/"
harry@vaughan:~/Xen/Wray$ cvs co -c
Password:
Cannot access //CVSROOT
No such file or directory
harry@vaughan:~/Xen/Wray$

Looks like I'm missing the path to your repository. What is it?

Thanks,

Harry.

Nuts. I left :/var/cvs off the end. Will update the wiki.
Should be:

CVS_ROOT=":ext:anoncvs@gandalf.hpl.hp.com:/var/cvs"

For me, it needs to be CVSROOT and not CVS_ROOT.  Why is the wiki page
immutable? I could have fixed that.

Another typo. Mixed up CVS_RSH and CVSROOT.

Are you logged in? There's no reason it should be immutable,
but you do need to log in to edit pages.

I have a potentially stupid question, should we update to the main trunk
of CVS or using the tags like: XEN_UNSTABLE_2005_05_11?

Thanks,

Dan

Just update the main trunk. The tags are the import tags.
You have to give 2 tags when you import code into CVS.
I tagged the original import with the date to make it easier to
do merges later. When tracking separate code you can then import
onto a new tag and use the tags to indentify the things to merge.
