asterisk users - Jan 2005 - Tortoise CVS download for Asterisk Docs

http://www.asteriskdocs.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=4 

 

Can I make a suggestion that some documentation is provided for the
Tortoise CVS download of the asterisk docs. I've tried every combination
and I cant get it to work.

 

I'm assuming it must work otherwise it wouldn't have been listed but for
60 seconds more work it would be a bigger benefit to the asterisk
community.

 

 

 

Cheers,

Dean

- Install TortoiseCVS from the link provided
- Inside the file explorer, right click where you want to check out the
docs
- click cvs checkout in the menu
- in the CVSROOT field, enter
               :pserver:anonymous:@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/asterisk
 (note the : before pserver AND after anonymous)
- In Module, enter docs
- Click OK

I just installed TortoiseCVS to test this and it worked fine. If this
doesn't work for you on your system, you can always install the command
line cvs application that comes with cygwin (www.cygwin.com) and follow
the command line instructions provided. This works even better when you
want to sync docs and code all the time.

Thank you so much for your help.

I was obviously missing the second ':' after the username

This will help me now in that I only need to do an update before reading
rather than downloading the entire document again.

Having said that I have another question for you. I've downloaded the
file to windows explorer and opened it but it is in XML.

What should I be using to read this so it doesn't show the XML?



Cheers,
Dean

Ok no probs, I thought the whole reason for CVS was so that it saved
downloading an entire copy of the book each time I wanted to update to
the latest version.

Thereby making for easier burden for you guys hosting the docs.

I'm happy to download a pdf each time (unlimited bandwidth available
here) was just trying to help you out.



Cheers,
Dean

This would have been more appropriate to post to the asterisk-docs
mailing list, but either way.

The documentation is written in DocBook. Whatever is checked into CVS
is in this format (hence why you see all sorts of tags). We do this
because it allows us to all have our own copy of the "code" on our
computers where we can write it and check in the sections of
documentation much like the source code for Asterisk.  This is because
files such as PDF and Word documents (or OpenOffice documents) are not
easily tracked between changes.

If you want to read the documentation in non-XML format, then download
a precompiled version off the ADP website in PDF format, or read it
online in HTML format (the PDF looks nicer of course).

The only reason you even need to use the CVS is to compile your own
version of the documentation locally, or to write documentation in
DocBook, create a diff and then post it to the asterisk-docs mailing
list for review and commitment to the CVS repository.

It sounds like you just want to read it.  You don't need CVS for this.

Thanks,
Leif Madsen.
