Hi Paul, > OTTOMH: cvs -co manual -r B_Release -- or something like that Close! no hyphen before "co", but:
norman@hubble:~/SourceCode/cvs/firebird/manual> cvs co manual -r B_Release Password: cvs server: cannot find module `-r' - ignored cvs server: cannot find module `B_Release' - ignored cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot expand modules I've tried just about everything, to no avail. I get the same or similar errors each time. Hmm - I know I've done it before following your original instructions and I kept all our emails! > The branch should still be there. Sorry, can't check now because I have to go > in 2 minutes. Will be back in 2-3 hrs. Ok, gottit! It's: cvs -z6 -d:ext:normandun...@firebird.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/firebird checkout -r B_Release -d B_Release manual (all on one line) That checks out the manual module, the B_Release branch into a directory called B_Release within wherever I ran the command. I had to download the "Open Source Development with CVS pdf file to get a clue! I much prefer Subversion I have to say - but that's because I know it better than CVS.
