Hi Andrew and all, I am still struggling with the branch repositories. I tried to checkout from branch repositories but got error no such repositories:
$ cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anoncvs:passw...@anoncvs.postgresql.org:/projects/REL8_4_STABLE co -P pgsql /projects/REL8_4_STABLE: no such repository $ cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anoncvs:passw...@anoncvs.postgresql.org:/projects/REL8_3_STABLE co -P pgsql /projects/REL8_3_STABLE: no such repository $ cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anoncvs:passw...@anoncvs.postgresql.org:/REL8_4_STABLE co -P pgsql /REL8_4_STABLE: no such repository $ cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anoncvs:passw...@anoncvs.postgresql.org:/REL8_3_STABLE co -P pgsql /REL8_3_STABLE: no such repository What are the correct repositories for these branch? Is there a way I can list these branch repositories and how?
