6. Downloading the XFree86/DRI CVS Sources
The DRI project is hosted by SourceForge.
The DRI source code, which is a subset of the XFree86 source tree,
is kept in a CVS repository there.
The DRI CVS sources may be accessed either anonymously or as a
registered SourceForge user.
It's recommended that you become a registered SourceForge user so
that you may submit non-anonymous bug reports and can participate
in the mailing lists.
6.1. Anonymous CVS download:
- Create a directory to store the CVS files:
cd ~
mkdir DRI-CVS
You could put your CVS directory in a different place but we'll
use ~/DRI-CVS/ here.
- Check out the CVS sources:
cd ~/DRI-CVS
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.dri.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/dri login
(hit ENTER when prompted for a password)
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.dri.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/dri co xc
The -z3 flag causes compression to be used in order to reduce
the download time.
6.2. Registered CVS download:
- Create a directory to store the CVS files:
cd ~
mkdir DRI-CVS
You could put your CVS directory in a different place but we'll
use ~/DRI-CVS/ here.
- Set the CVS_RSH environment variable:
setenv CVS_RSH ssh // if using csh or tcsh
export CVS_RSH=ssh // if using sh or bash
- Check out the CVS sources:
cd ~/DRI-CVS
cvs -z3 -d:ext:YOURID@cvs.dri.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/dri co xc
Replace YOURID with your CVS login name.
You'll be prompted to enter your sourceforge password.
The -z3 flag causes compression to be used in order to reduce
the download time.
6.3. Updating your CVS sources
In the future you'll want to occasionally update your local copy of
the DRI source code to get the latest changes.
This can be done with:
cd ~/DRI-CVS
cvs -z3 update -dA xc
The -d flag causes any new subdirectories to be created and -A causes
most recent trunk sources to be fetched, not branch sources.
