Source code CVS repository
Many people who are interested in working with Dr. Geo development find their first hurdle is figuring out how to use CVS. This document will be a quick tutorial.
CVS is a powerful method of allowing many developers work on the same source code. This is possible because each developer checks out a copy of the current version of the source code. Then they each independently work on their personal copy of the sources. When they have made changes, they commit them back to the CVS repository. The CVS server takes care of things like trying to merge their changes with those of others. When that doesn't work, the developer is notified and they do a hand merge of the conflicts.
To get the newest Dr. Geo source from the CVS, you need to have cvs installed, next you need to setup a few environmental variables.
The first command you need is:export CVSROOT=':pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome'
You might want to put this in your login script.
Then do the command:cvs login (there is no password, just hit return)Now you can grab the Dr. Geo module:
cvs -z3 checkout drgeo
