Anonymous CVS

To obtain read-only access to the Tol CVS you need to log in using the username anonymous.

If you don't know how to do this, read through the steps below:

• If you don't have a cvs client installed, read the Access the TOL cvs page (follow the link on the right menu). Once you have installed the necessary software, come back and read on.
• Open a shell (sh console, bash, xterm...) and cd to the directory you want to get the cvs copy into. Then type:
  
  cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.tol-project.org:/tolp login
• This command may ask for the anonymous user's password. Just press ENTER:
  
  Logging in to :pserver:anonymous@cvs.tol-project.org:/tolp
  CVS password:
• Now you are able to access the TOL-project repository in read-only mode:
  
  cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.tol-project.org:/tolp co project_name
• Substitute project_name with a name of any of the projects you want to download ( tol, toltcl, tolbase, toldoc...). This command creates automatically a directory using the same name as the requested project.
• If you want to update the contents of a project you have allready downloaded, just cd to the directory on which you created the project before, and type:
  
  cvs update -d
