CVS Information
If you are one of those people who "has" to stay up
to date and "bleeding edge" we support you fully. The
best way to do this, is to install and use CVS, or
Concurrent Version System. CVS is a way of storing and
tracking changes in the code between releases. It always
has the latest source code and bug fixes, and its always
a good idea to use a CVS release because it helps the
developer's find problems with new features, etc. If you
have never used CVS before, we suggest that you take a look
at
http://cvsbook.red-bean.com and read some of the free
chapters available, or even better if you have the cash
laying around, purchase a "hard copy" of the book, so you
can always have it if you need it.
Anonymous CVS Access
This project's SourceForge CVS repository can be checked out
through anonymous (pserver) CVS with the following
instruction set. The module you wish to check out must be
specified as the modulename. When prompted for a password for
anonymous, simply press the Enter key.
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.dxr2.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/dxr2 login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.dxr2.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/dxr2 co
modulename
Updates from within the module's directory do not need the -d parameter.
Make sure you substitute "modulename" with what you intend on
downloading (i.e. dxr2-driver, xine-plugin, etc.)
If you really don't want to bother with CVS, you can always
download a copy of the entire CVS repository from
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cvstarballs/dxr2-cvsroot.tar.gz
This is nice, but be aware that you are downloading the ENTIRE
CVS Repository, which means you are getting the dxr2 driver, as
well as all plugins/players, ports, etc. At the time that this
was wrote the the entire CVS repository is well over 3 megs! Also, this is
a "nightly" archive of the cvs repository, and is only updated
once per 24 hours. The CVS repository can change during the course of
one day, so if you download the cvs repository today, you are
downloading yesterdays work, and you are still 24 hours behind.
CVS over HTTP
If you do not want to go through the hassle of installing a CVS Cient,
or if you are not able to do so at the moment, you have another
option. With your favorite web browser, you can head on over to
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/dxr2 and browse
through the entire CVS Repository, which includes all of the various
dxr2 related projects.
