AFAIK Gentoo doesn't have a public accessible cvs server. This only way is through the web cvs. FYI: http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/ the guide is described as: The CVS Tutorial documents the basics of using CVS, the Concurrent Versioning System. so there really is no need for a 'disclaimer' ... also, like Benny said, our cvs server does not allow anonymous connections ... we used to but the load on the cvs server got to be so high it was very slow for our developers since everything is available through rsync there really is no point atm to offer cvs access to non-developers Is there some documentation on how to use rsync to download development versions of portage, gentoolkit, etc.? I thought I had seen references to using CVS, but I might have just been assuming I would do this through CVS. erm our main portage tree is distributed via rsync but i guess nothing else is ;) currently the only access is through webcvs for the other modules |
