This document describes +how to get anonymous read-only access to this source code. + +Access via cvsweb +----------------- + +You can access the source code via your favourite WWW browser. +This allows you to access the contents of individual files in +the repository and also to look at the revision history and +commit logs of individual files. You can also ask for a diff +listing between any two versions on the repository. + +Use the URL : http://samba.anu.edu.au/cgi-bin/cvsweb + +Access via cvs +-------------- + +You can also access the source code via a normal cvs client. +This gives you much more control over you can do with the +repository and allows you to checkout whole source trees +and keep them uptodate via normal cvs commands. This is the +preferred method of access if you are a developer and not +just a casual browser. + +To download the latest cvs source code, point your +browser at the URL : + +http://www.cyclic.com/ + +and click on the 'How to get cvs' link. CVS is free +software under the GNU GPL (as is Samba). + +To gain access via anonymous cvs use the following steps. +For this example it is assumed that you want a copy of the +samba source code. For the other source code repositories +on this system just substitute the correct package name + +1. Install a recent copy of cvs. All you really need is a + copy of the cvs client binary. + +2. Run the command + + cvs -d :pserver:cvs@samba.anu.edu.au:/cvsroot login + +When it asks you for a password type 'cvs' (not including +the quotes). + +3. Run the command + + cvs -d :pserver:cvs@samba.anu.edu.au:/cvsroot co samba + +This will create a directory called samba containing the +latest samba source code. This currently corresponds to the +1.9.18alpha development tree. + +4. Whenever you want to merge in the latest code changes use +the following command from within the samba directory: + + cvs update -d -P + +NOTE: If you instead want the latest source code for the +1.9.17 stable tree then replace step 4 with the command: + + cvs -d :pserver:cvs@samba.anu.edu.au:/cvsroot co -r BRANCH_1_9_17 samba + +Access to the NT DOMAIN Controller code +--------------------------------------- + +The Samba PDC code is being separately developed on a +branch named BRANCH_NTDOM. To gain access to the latest +source code (this changes daily) do the following: + +1). Log onto cvs + + cvs -d :pserver:cvs@samba.anu.edu.au:/cvsroot login + +When it asks you for a password type 'cvs' (not including +the quotes). + +2). Check out the BRANCH_NTDOM by typing : + + cvs -d :pserver:cvs@samba.anu.edu.au:/cvsroot co -r BRANCH_NTDOM samba + +This will create a directory called samba containing the +latest snapshot of the domain controller code. + +3). To keep this code up to date after it has been +changed in the cvs repository, cd into the samba +directory you created above and type : + + cvs update -d -P + +How it's done. +-------------- + +If you are interested in how anonymous cvs access is set up and +want to set it up on your own system then you might like to checkout +the pserver source code using the the command : + + cvs -d :pserver:cvs@samba.anu.edu.au:/cvsroot co pserver + +You really have to know what you are doing to do this. Please don't +email samba-bugs with basic cvs or unix security questions. + +Reporting problems. +------------------- + +If you have any problems with this system please email +samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au. -- cgit
