Thread: Downloading PostgreSQL source code version 7.1 through CVS

Hi all,

Can anyone please tell me how to download the PostgreSQL-7.1 source code
through CVS, i use the following set of commands to get the source code
of postgreSQL.

1) cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.postgresql.org:/projects/cvsroot
login
This command will do an initial login to the PostgreSQL repository.

2) cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.postgresql.org:/projects/cvsroot
co -P pgsql
This will fetch the code, but the code that is fetched is the latest
code.

Can anyone please tell me what command I have to use to download the
source code For PostgreSQL-7.1.

Thanks in advance
Regards
Cinu Kuriakose

You need "-r RELx_y_STABLE" to check out the branch for release x.y.

You do realize that 7.1 has not been maintained since 2001?  I can
hardly imagine a reason to be interested in it now.
