Thread: cvs source doco

Where's the source, Luke?

I remember that the modules moved, but where to?

  "The requested URL /TODO/docs/cvs-tree.html was not found on this server."

and from /TODO/docs/cvs.html, I already have
% cat CVS/Root
:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.postgresql.org:/projects/cvsroot
% cvs update
? allroot
? contrib/spi/refint.so.pic
? contrib/spi/autoinc.so.pic
? src/test/regress/regress.so.pic
cvs server: Updating .
cvs server: cannot open directory /projects/cvsroot/pgsql: No such file or directory
...
so it must be explaining the way it used to be. (It does say 7.2 Documentation
at the top..)

Cheers,

Patrick

The CVS server address and other instructions didn't change, but you are
more or less forced to do a fresh checkout because Marc split the pgsql
module into pgsql-server and something else.  Your existing CVS files
are pointing to the old modules and so "cvs update" will fail.

(If you have done a fresh checkout within the last month or two, then
this is wrong and some new theory is needed ... but that's my first
bet.)

That must be a good bet. Thanks for the clarification!
