OpenMCL Anonymous CVS/FTP Access

The information below is generally accurate, but the CVS repository was (mostly) lost in clozure.com's disk crash in October 2003. For current information on CVS access, see this page.

To check out a copy of the OpenMCL sources via anonymous CVS:

  1. Login to the CVS server at clozure.com, using the username "cvs" and password "cvs" and the "pserver" access method. From a Unux/Linux shell prompt, this would involve issuing a command like:

    > cvs -d :pserver:cvs@clozure.com:/usr/local/publiccvs login
    # enter "cvs" when prompted for a password. 
       
  2. Once logged in, check out a copy of the "ccl" project. From a shell prompt, this would be:

    > cvs -d :pserver:cvs@clozure.com:/usr/local/publiccvs get ccl
       

    That'll create (or overwrite the contents of) a directory named ccl and populate it with the most recent sources (which may, in some cases, be newer than the most recent binary release.) The sources that correspond to a given binary release are "tagged" with a tag of the form Version_x_y, where x and y are the major/minor version numbers of a release. To checkout the sources corresponding to OpenMCL release 6.4 (assuming that such a release existed), you could do:

    > cvs -d :pserver:cvs@clozure.com:/usr/local/publiccvs get -r Version_6_4 ccl
       
  3. Having done a cvs get as indicated above, you can subsequently update your source tree by:

    > cd ccl
    > cvs update -A
       

See General CVS Documentation for links to CVS reference and tutorial information.

See OpenMCL CVS Repository for a WWW browser interface to the OpenMCL CVS repository.

A checked-out copy of the CVS tree is available via anonymous FTP at ftp://clozure.com/pub/openmcl-src-CURRENT.tar.gz.
