Re: CVS checkout source code for different branches - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

Hi Andrew and all, <br /><br />I am still struggling with the branch repositories. I tried to checkout from branch
repositoriesbut got error no such repositories: <br /><br />$ cvs -z3 -d 
:pserver:anoncvs:password@anoncvs.postgresql.org:/projects/REL8_4_STABLEco -P pgsql<br /> /projects/REL8_4_STABLE: no
suchrepository<br /><br />$ cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anoncvs:password@anoncvs.postgresql.org:/projects/REL8_3_STABLE co -P
pgsql<br/>/projects/REL8_3_STABLE: no such repository<br /><br />$ cvs -z3 -d
:pserver:anoncvs:password@anoncvs.postgresql.org:/REL8_4_STABLEco -P pgsql<br /> /REL8_4_STABLE: no such repository<br
/><br/>$ cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anoncvs:password@anoncvs.postgresql.org:/REL8_3_STABLE co -P pgsql<br /> /REL8_3_STABLE:
nosuch repository<br /><br />What are the correct repositories for these branch? Is there a way I can list these branch
repositoriesand how?<br /><br />Many thanks,<br />M Z<br /><br /><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Feb 8, 2010 at 11:56

releasem.n those are always called RELm_n_STABLE. You can also get the tag set for a specific release. Those are called
RELm_n_ofor m.n.o releases.<br /><br /> If you look at the output for "cvs log <a href="http://configure.in"
target="_blank">configure.in</a>"you can see near the top a list of tag sets under the heading "symbolic names".<br

  1. webCVS: <a href="http://anoncvs.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/"
target="_blank">http://anoncvs.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/</a><br/><br />            2. cvs -z3 -d<br />          
 :pserver:anoncvs:password@anoncvs.postgresql.org:/projects/cvsroot<br/>            co -P pgsql<br /><br />          
 3.$ rsync --progress -avzCH --delete<br />            anoncvs.postgresql.org::pgsql-cvs $CVSROOT<br /><br />          
 However,how can I checkout code from different branches<br />            (such as 8.3, 8.4)?<br /><br /><br /><br />  
    CVS is documented here, among other places:<br />        <<a
href="http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/cvs-1.11.20/cvs.html"
target="_blank">http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/cvs-1.11.20/cvs.html</a>><br/><br />        To check out a particular
branchsuch as REL8_4_STABLE, use<br />        the -r option on the checkout command:<br /><br />          cvs checkout
