[NTLUG:Discuss] Updating (committing) to SourceForge

[Bruce DeGrasse]

Steve, the pserver checkout procedure seems to work OK for source forge 
projects using the following:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.yourproject.sourceforge.net:/cvs/yourproject 
login
[after password prompt: depress ENTER, then checkout project by typing]
cvs -z8 
-d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.yourproject.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/yourproject co 
directoryname

After initial checkout you can use 
cvs update
