1.2.3 Using CVS Remotely: Initializing Your Repository
Section 1.2.3: Initializing Your Repository
To check out the entire source distribution, including new code since the last release, first create and change to a directory where you want to install the ISIP software:

    mkdir isip
    cd isip
Then execute the following command (this should appear as one line in your browser):

    cvs -d :pserver:cvs@iescvs.cavs.msstate.edu: \
    /cavs/research/isip/d001/isip/tools/cvsroot checkout .
The result of this command will display:
    cvs server: Updating .
    cvs server: Updating CVSROOT
    cvs server: Updating class
    cvs server: Updating class/algo
    cvs server: Updating class/algo/Algorithm
    cvs server: Updating class/algo/AlgorithmBase
    cvs server: Updating class/algo/AlgorithmContainer
    cvs server: Updating class/algo/AlgorithmData
    cvs server: Updating class/algo/AlgorithmUndefined
    (continues until entire source distribution is checked out...)

Section 1.2.3: Initializing Your Repository
Note that the "." at the end of the command is important because it indicates you want to install everything below the current working directory. Since you are at the top of the tree, this will allow you to acquire the entire distribution.

To check out only the latest released version (e.g., r00_n11), execute the following command:

    cvs -d :pserver:cvs@iescvs.cavs.msstate.edu: /cavs/research/isip/d001/isip/tools/cvsroot \
        export -r isip_r00_n11 .
Upon execution of one of the above commands, CVS will check out the entire source distribution in your current directory. Be sure to specify ':pserver'. If you do not, CVS will use rsh to connect with the server and rsh privileges are not available to anonymous users.
