-   PostgreSQL: Getting the source via CVS
-
-
-
-Getting the source via CVS
-
-If you would like to keep up with the current sources on a regular
-basis, you can fetch them from our CVS server and then use CVS to
-retrieve updates from time to time.
-
-To do this you first need a local copy of CVS (Concurrent Version Control
-System), which you can get from
-http://www.cyclic.com/ or
-any GNU software archive site.  Currently we recommend version 1.9.
-
-Once you have installed the CVS software, do this:
-
-cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/usr/local/cvsroot login
-
-You will be prompted for a password; enter 'postgresql'.
-You should only need to do this once, since the password will be
-saved in .cvspass in your home directory.
-
-Having logged in, you are ready to fetch the PostgreSQL sources.
-Do this:
-
-cvs -z3 -d :pserver:[email protected]:/usr/local/cvsroot co -P pgsql
-
-which will install the PostgreSQL sources into a subdirectory pgsql
-of the directory you are currently in.
-
-(If you have a fast link to the Internet, you may not need -z3,
-which instructs CVS to use gzip compression for transferred data.  But
-on a modem-speed link, it's a very substantial win.)
-
-This initial checkout is a little slower than simply downloading
-a tar.gz file; expect it to take 40 minutes or so if you
-have a 28.8K modem.  The advantage of CVS doesn't show up until you
-want to update the file set later on.
-
-Whenever you want to update to the latest CVS sources, cd into
-the pgsql subdirectory, and issue
-
-cvs -z3 update -d -P
-
-This will fetch only the changes since the last time you updated.
-You can update in just a couple of minutes, typically, even over
-a modem-speed line.
-
-You can save yourself some typing by making a file .cvsrc
-in your home directory that contains
-
-
-cvs -z3
-update -d -P
-
-
-This supplies the -z3 option to all cvs commands, and the
--d and -P options to cvs update.  Then you just have
-to say
-
-cvs update
-
-to update your files.
-
-CAUTION: some versions of CVS have a bug that
-causes all checked-out files to be stored world-writable in your
-directory.  If you see that this has happened, you can do something like
-
-chmod -R go-w pgsql
-
-to set the permissions properly.  This bug is allegedly fixed in the
-latest beta version of CVS, 1.9.28 ... but it may have other, less
-predictable bugs.
-
-CVS can do a lot of other things, such as fetching prior revisions
-of the PostgreSQL sources rather than the latest development version.
-For more info consult the manual that comes with CVS, or see the online
-documentation at http://www.cyclic.com/.
