Anonymous CVS access to Guile ========================================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
We make the current Guile sources available via anonymous CVS. Please
|
|
||||||
keep in mind that these sources are strictly experimental; they will
|
|
||||||
usually not be well-tested, and may not even compile on some systems.
|
|
||||||
They may contain interfaces which will change. They will usually not
|
|
||||||
be of sufficient quality for use by people not comfortable hacking the
|
|
||||||
innards of Guile. Caveat!
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
However, we're providing them anyway for several reasons. We'd like
|
|
||||||
to encourage people to get involved in developing Guile. People
|
|
||||||
willing to use the bleeding edge of development can get earlier access
|
|
||||||
to new, experimental features. Patches submitted relative to recent
|
|
||||||
sources will be easier for us to evaluate and install, since the
|
|
||||||
patch's original sources will be closer to what we're working with.
|
|
||||||
And it allows us to start testing features earlier.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Since the CVS tree is arranged for the convenience of the developers,
|
|
||||||
it requires GCC and GNU Make, which together support automatic
|
|
||||||
dependency management. You will also need to install autoconf,
|
|
||||||
automake, and libtool; the recommended versions are listed in HACKING.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To check out a CVS working directory:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1) Install CVS version 1.9 or later on your system.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
2) Log into the CVS server:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
$ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvs login
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
At the prompt for `CVS password:', simply press the enter key.
|
|
||||||
Once you have logged in, your password is saved in ~/.cvspass, and you
|
|
||||||
will not need to enter it again.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
3) Check out a module:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
$ cvs -z 9 -d :pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvs checkout guile-core
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This should create a new directory `guile-core' in your current
|
|
||||||
directory, and populate it with the current Guile sources.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To check out all modules use:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
$ cvs -z 9 -d :pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvs checkout guile
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
4) In the top directory of the source tree, run the command `./autogen.sh'.
|
|
||||||
This builds the configure script, Makefile.in, and other derived files
|
|
||||||
used by the build system.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The modules available for checkout include:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
guile-core --- The scheme interpreter itself.
|
|
||||||
guile-tcltk --- An interface between Guile and Tcl/Tk.
|
|
||||||
guile-scsh --- An incomplete port of scsh to Guile.
|
|
||||||
guile-rgx-ctax --- This has been discontinued; use Andrew Archibald's
|
|
||||||
distribution instead:
|
|
||||||
ftp://ftp.red-bean.com/pub/guile/contrib/misc/guile-lang-allover-0.1.tar.gz
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Once you have a working directory, you can bring it up to date easily
|
|
||||||
and efficiently:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1) Go to the top directory of the source tree. That is, your current
|
|
||||||
directory should be the one containing `configure.in', `README',
|
|
||||||
and so on.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
2) Do the update:
|
|
||||||
$ cvs update
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This will incorporate any changes the developers have made to Guile
|
|
||||||
since your last update into your source tree.
|
|
||||||

Change Notification ==================================================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you would like to receive mail when people commit changes to the
|
|
||||||
Guile CVS repository, you can subscribe to guile-cvs@gnu.org by using
|
|
||||||
the Mailman mailing list interface at
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-cvs>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Questions ============================================================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
(I don't know if they'll be "frequently asked" or not yet!)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- It takes forever to do an update; what can I do to speed it up?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
CVS tries to be smart about what it sends; it will transmit and
|
|
||||||
install only those files that have changed, and will sometimes
|
|
||||||
transmit and apply patches instead, to save transmission time.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It is also possible to have CVS compress transmitted data, using zlib.
|
|
||||||
Put the following line in your ~/.cvsrc file:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
cvs -z 9
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
See the CVS documentation for more details.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- What happens if I've changed files in my working directory, and then
|
|
||||||
I do an update?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you have made local changes to your sources, the `cvs update'
|
|
||||||
command will not overwrite them; instead, CVS will try to merge its
|
|
||||||
changes with your changes, as if you had applied a patch. Rejects are
|
|
||||||
marked in the sources.
