I've often wondered if and how I can access the OOo code via CVS. The
CVS info under http://development.openoffice.org/ is not very helpful;
it talks a lot about Cygwin installation and advanced features like CVS
tunnelling, but fails to provide basic info on the CVS repository setup.
Maybe http://development.openoffice.org/ or [email protected] can help.
Or http://wiki.services.openoffice.org.


Like I said earlier, I was bit able to find clear information on this at http://development.openoffice.org/. As for the Wiki, the only thing related to CVS mentioned there, is how to check out a build script...

Have you tried CvsGui at http://www.wincvs.org

I don't think you need ssh tunnelling for anonymous access (could be
wrong there),

I'm not sure I understand the point of using tunnelling for *anything* - I mean instead of :ext: with CVS_RSH=ssh, but that's a different discussion.

but in any case there are links from there to using CvsGui
with ssh.

Also, the cvs commands at
http://tools.openoffice.org/dev_docs/build_windows_tcsh.html
under "Get the source code" provide all the info you need - although
you'll need a little cvs knowledge to decipher the command lines.
Not a lot, I'd say. Actually, this page seems to have exactly the information I need. Thanks.

I'm still wondering why this information isn't displayed at a prominent spot in the "download" section of the web site, though. And a web interface to CVS the one found at SourceForge would also be nice...
