Re: cvs access
You have to use the pserver: mode instead of the ext: mode.
Look for it in your CVS client.

You have to create a new folder and right click on it and hit cvs checkout. then enter this for cvsroot:wingnut144 wrote: So, what was the solution? I'm having the same problem.
:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/phpbb
Then for the module name type:
phpBB2
It will say there is an empty password, but it will still start downloading the files.
Re: cvs access
Old post, I know, but I'm having terrible difficulties.
How can I change it to pserver mode?
I'm using wincvs, by the way.

No support means no support, and that includes retrieval of the source.

If that is true (which I will not doubt it is), please explain how these people could solve a similar problem:VxJasonxV wrote: No support means no support, and that includes retrieval of the source.

I am merely experiencing a difficulty retrieving the files. A simple problem that can be answered with little effort and no conflict.DarkFate wrote: wingnut144 wrote:

If you'd like to get technical, I am not asking how to retieve the files but change the mode to pserver. If someone could please answer how to change the mode, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Re: cvs access
Yes, it could be done with little effort or conflict. However:
1) I don't use WinCVS, so I don't know the answer. So instead, I'll be providing you the answer that you SHOULD be getting, which is:
2) No support means no support, and that includes retrieval of the source, just like I already said. Would you rather have a mod be hammering this down instead?
3) If you had searched (though I admit, sometimes it's broken, three cheers for software in development) you would have known this already.
I'm really trying to not be confrontational, but these are the rules they already have in place.
And being a loyal fanboy (yes, I do admit it!) I'll continue to repeat what so many others have said, and what so many more others have been told.

Re: cvs access
No support is just that, no support. For anything. Including retrieval of source code.
