[Haifux] re: re: cvs history for kernel driver

Thanks Muli!

The rsync works fine, the only problem I found only linux-2.4 and 2.5 and not the 2.6. What have I missed?

thanks again,

Bill

I don't think anon CVS is enabled currently; what you probably want to

do is check out the CVSROOT via rsync, and then query the local

repository. Alternatively, you can use the bitkeeper web access to see

the changes for the file.

For rsync, I use

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat kernel/cvsroot/run.sh

#!/bin/bash

time nice rsync -v "$@" --recursive \

rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub//scm/linux/kernel/bkcvs/ . | everyn.sh 100

Where everyn.sh is a script that shows every 100'th line, so I can get

some progress indicator withot being overly spammed.

For the bitkeeper web acces, look on bitmover's web site.

Cheers,

Muli
