nice one

some of the configure options i never knew.

for dummies is normal for computer tutorials and not meant nasty berley, look in smiths and there is a shelf full of for dummies book, it's a way of saying even someone with no knowledge can do it without getting bogged down with the technicalitys.

Sorry for bringing up an old post, but it appears the hosting site is down, could anyone please upload the guide below and "ubuntu cvs server for DUMMIES" to somewhere like y******** if you have coppies.

Many Thanks

Looks a good guide Nitr8 but I think I have a few ultra dummy questions first


How do you make diff files?


How to make a neutrino

I am going to give it a try but starting from a very low base...

I have downloaded the CVS as per the instructions - ;)

I see now how I can edit the source but still do not know how to produce a diff file and then a neutrino - Help appreciated.

@Nitr8

Starting agin to download the CVS and did the 3 commands from th eDummies guide but the second command keeps getting the following error..


y@y-desktop:~/tuxbox/tuxbox-cvs/cdk$ cvs -z3 -d To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. :/cvs/tuxbox co -R newmake -P cdk/newmake.files
cvs: WARNING: Read-only repository access mode selected via `cvs -R'.
Using this option to access a repository which some users write to may
cause intermittent sandbox corruption.
cvs server: cannot find module `newmake' - ignored
cvs server: cannot find module `-P' - ignored
cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot expand modules


The third command appears to still work - Are there any implications in this - bear in mind I still don't really get the principls of this process, just know how to messs with the code at the end...

I am also getting an error when configuring about the switch --enable-maintainer-mode not being recognised. I can compile without it.

Can I work on that compiled CVS? Or is it corrupt?

newmake is now in HEAD so you can leave the "-r newmake" option to cvs out.
BTW, you can also get the sources via git from seife - Gitorious (http://gitorious.org/~seife/)
