accessing anonymous cvs
Anonymous access to the Pike site CVS is not ready yet. Use the one on community.roxen.com for now. We rsync regularly to keep it up to date.

You can download the latest version of Pike through the anonymous CVS. This CVS is always up to date with the latest changes, but as such it is not always well tested. As with the distributions, we take no resposibility for loss of data, time, hair, pets or any other damage that may be the result of using this software. That said, getting Pike from CVS is the most convenient way of staying up to date.

Getting the source
*1. Make sure you have a version of Pike installed (7.0 or later). A suitable starting point is to download a source distribution, which already has the autogenerated parts in place; see the download page.
*2. Make sure you have a recent copy of CVS installed. You can read about getting and installing CVS at http://www.cvshome.org/.
*3. Run the following command to login to the server (this step only needs to be done once):
    cvs -d :pserver:anon@cvs.roxen.com:/cvs login

*4. Press return at the password prompt (no password is needed).
*5. Run the command to check out the project you are interested in:
    cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anon@cvs.roxen.com:/cvs co Pike/7.5

*6. To update your local repository with the latest changes, change directory to the base of the project and run the following command. For example, if you wish to update Pike/7.5, type:
    cd Pike/7.5
    cvs -z3 update -Pd

Note! It is very important not to forget the -d. Otherwise newly added directories will not be created.
