A colleague of mine recently wanted to install CVS version of Emacs.
After googling for "GNU emacs CVS", the second link was:
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/faq2.html
which said for install of CVS:
The following commands should checkout the current version of the source:
c:\>cvs -d:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/emacs login
c:\>cvs -d:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/emacs checkout emacs
On a Unix machine, after typing the first "login" command, and giving
an empty password, the command does not end; it has to be aborted.
Do these instructions need updating? I note on subversions the
command given is:
cvs -z3 -d:ext:address@hidden:/cvsroot/emacs co emacs
Is that appropriate for the windows platform too? Listing a command
that works on both windows and unix would be better for the faq.
Thanks,
Stephen
