latest available version is linux_2_4, which happens to be always a tip of
2.4 branch of linux-mips cvs

how to get older version instead of bleeding edge

[HG]

Hi all

How I get the older version of the linux for mips kernel , in particular I
would like the 2.4.20

after downloading successfully the latest cvs with the web example
i tried to upgrade with : $ cvs
cvs -d :pserver:cvs@ftp.linux-mips.org:/home/cvs  update -r2.4.20 linux
a long list of ..../filename is no longer in the repository was obtained

any hints of the command line necessary

thanks

Henri

Primary command that you need to know is
info cvs

OTOH, it would probably be beneficial, if we had something like
"
To check out earlier releases of kernel from cvs (i.e. 2.4) use
cvs -d :pserver:cvs@ftp.linux-mips.org:/home/cvs co -rlinux_2_4
"
