The CVS is not working !!!

I saw the cvs is not working from 03 january 2008 when the last build was posted
Why no other build was posted since then?
What is happening?

Its a bit late to notice but who am I to complain I think CVS has been disabled because of some kinda server upgrade (or moving to a new server perhaps) or even making sure all statistics' code is up to date with PHP5

Why no other build was posted since then?

Just adding to the above, the code that creates the build might have been disabled. You can get the latest snapshot using CVS.

What is happening?

Bertie might have dropped a honey pot on the server rack

OK, so i`m here:
http://phpbb.cvs.sourceforge.net/phpbb

I don`t know how to use the cvs!

phpBB2-cvs is empty
phpBB2 has files in it with their age displyed
What is the idea, shoul I download every page that I need based on their age?
I know my forum files are from 13 december 2007 so if I find a newer file inside the cvs I should download it and replace my old file with it !?

Is there any program that downloads automaticaly the cvs files?

I highly discourage using CVS on a live board at this juncture.

And if you were talking about a test site, then I would suggest you don't just copy and replace but install again.

And you are looking in the wrong place, you need to use something like TortoiseCVS.

After installation, create a folder somewhere on the drive (preferably something like C:\phpBB CVS). Now open command prompt can type in:

Code: Select all

cd c:\phpbb cvs

and press the Enter key. You would change into the new created directory. Now type in the following two commends (pressing Enter key after each):

Code: Select all

cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/phpbb login

and

Code: Select all

cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/phpbb -z5 co phpBB2

Hopefully, after entering the second command CVS files should start downloading.

I'm kinda struggling with UI to download the snapshot. Hope this helps
