Everything relating to this project is in CVS, from web pages to schematics. All the files are available on the web, too.

A copy of the repository is available via a cvsweb interface also.

To access the repository, you'll need to set the CVSROOT environment variable as in these examples (if you are using a different shell, you'll have to figure it out yourself):

95/NT	set    CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.delorie.com:/cvs/hobbyplat
bash	export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.delorie.com:/cvs/hobbyplat
csh	setenv CVSROOT :pserver:anonymous@cvs.delorie.com:/cvs/hobbyplat

Once you've done that, you need to tell your local cvs software what password to use. The password is the word anonymous:

bash$ cvs login
(Logging in to anonymous@cvs.delorie.com)
CVS password: anonymous

Note: Windows users may need to make sure the HOME environment variable is set to something meaningful.

After this, you shouldn't have to worry about passwords any more, as it will store your password in $HOME/.cvspass (semi-encoded). In other words, don't type "cvs login" again.

To get the HOBBYPLAT sources, do this:

bash$ cvs -z3 get hobbyplat

This will create a subdirectory called hobbyplat and fill it with the core sources. Once you have the latest sources, "cvs update" will get any changes since your last update.

Note: the "-z3" uses "gzip -3" compression. Please don't use numbers other than 3; smaller means more network load and higher means more CPU load. You should put "cvs -z3" in your ~/.cvsrc

Problems

• Make sure your firewall allows port 2401
• Make sure your anti-virus software isn't blocking it either.
