I tried to access the latest LLVM, since several messages here so far have referred me to it. Now I have no experience with CVS-over-the-net. My previous experiences with versoin control have been RCS and Monotone. Brief summary: hendrik at lovesong:~/dv$ mkdir llvm hendrik at lovesong:~/dv$ cd llvm hendrik at lovesong:~/dv/llvm$ cvs -d :pserver:anon at llvm.org:/var/cvs/llvm login Logging in to :pserver:anon at llvm.org:2401/var/cvs/llvm CVS password: cvs login: warning: failed to open /farhome/hendrik/.cvspass for reading: No such file or directory hendrik at lovesong:~/dv/llvm$ So hitting return at the password prompt, as instructed at http://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html#checkout does not appear to work. Maybe cvs has changed its UI? -- hendrik

Have you tried running the "cvs co" command (as documented in the Getting Started Guide)? I suspect that it will work since the "cvs login" error message is only a warning. -- John T.> > So hitting return at the password prompt, as instructed at > http://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html#checkout > does not appear to work.

Hendrik, You could also just "touch ~/.cvspass" to create the file which should eliminate the warning. However, since you did a login, and it seemed successful, chances are the file now exists (containing the blank password for anon at llvm.org). Reid.
