R announce - Nov 1999 - Anonymous cvs access

With Tony Rossini's help we have established anonymous CVS access to a
read-only copy of the main R CVS tree at cvs.r-project.org.  This
would be of interest primarily to those who want to track the
development version (and who have access to CVS, of course).

To use anonymous cvs you must log in to the server under the name
"anoncvs" and with the password "anoncvs".  You only need to
log in
once.  Subsequent updates use a stored version of the password so you
could, for example, use a crontab entry on a Unix or Linux system to
obtain updates automatically.

Currently a checked-out copy of the CVS source tree occupies about 10
MB.  To compile and install the sources requires about 25 MB.

Checking out a copy is done by

$ # Remember the password is "anoncvs" and you only need to do this
once
$ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs at cvs.r-project.org:/home/rcvs/src login
(Logging in to anoncvs at cvs.r-project.org)
CVS password: 
$ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs at cvs.r-project.org:/home/rcvs/src checkout R
... many pages of filenames follow here

Updating your sources is done by

$ cvs update R

The anonymous CVS repository also contains the modules R-manuals and
R-notes.  You get those by

$ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs at cvs.r-project.org:/home/rcvs/src checkout R-manuals
etc.

And one of the nice features (why I wanted it):

in the R cvs tree, do:
	cvs log <filename>

replacing <filename> with source that you care about :-).
