Re:Sourceforge reality - how to get CVS from SF

On: SourceForge Terms of Service Change, Users Unhappy

Is there a way to sync a private CVS server with theirs? Including all previous versions in the current system? A HOWTO might be nice, possibly attached to that email.

How about this? Replace PROJECT with your project name:

(change into a suitable directory to put your CVS tarball in)

$ wget http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cvstarballs/PROJECT-cvs root.tar.gz
$ tar -zxf PROJECT-cvsroot.tar.gz
$ export CVSROOT=`pwd`/PROJECT

(change to where you want your working directory)

$ cvs get PROJECT
