Download from CVS Server

The CVS server of the XCIN Project is available now. You can obtain the newest sources of xcin related packages from here. It is suggested that you should be a little familiar with the cvs commands before going on. Please read the manual of cvs for detailed usage description.

Briefly speaking, before downloading anything from the cvs server, you should login first. There is a public accessable account in the xcin cvs server:

account name: xcin
password: xcin
cvsroot: xcin.linux.org.tw:/home/service/cvsroot/xcin

To download any packages, please use the following commands:

cvs -z9 -d :pserver:xcin@xcin.linux.org.tw:/home/service/cvsroot/xcin login
(type the password here)
cvs -z9 -d :pserver:xcin@xcin.linux.org.tw:/home/service/cvsroot/xcin checkout [-r <tag-name>] <pkg-name>

where the "-r <tag-name>" is optional. For example, to obtain the newest xcin and libtabe packages, you can use the command:

cvs -z9 -d :pserver:xcin@xcin.linux.org.tw:/home/service/cvsroot/xcin checkout xcin
cvs -z9 -d :pserver:xcin@xcin.linux.org.tw:/home/service/cvsroot/xcin checkout libtabe

If you already obtained the xcin package from cvs a few days ago, and you want to update it to the newest source, you can just go to the xcin directory you obtained (from cvs) and run the command:

cvs -z9 -d :pserver:xcin@xcin.linux.org.tw:/home/service/cvsroot/xcin update

The current <pkg-name> and <tag-name> available are listed in the following:
(S: stable release, U: under-development)

pkg: xcin
- tag(S): xcin-2-5-2
- tag(U): xcin-2-5-3-pre2
pkg: libtabe
- tag(U): libtabe-0-2
- tag(U): libtabe-0-2-5
