Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 7008
The current web pages have incorrect CVS instructions
Last modified: 2012-01-29 22:13:40 UTC
The currently browsable versions of the web pages give incorrect instruction about CVS'ing the source code. I'm referring to http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/build_linux.html, which, among other things, contains : # Another possibility is to check out the code from the cvs tree. If you don't have a username and password, you can still do a checkout as anoncvs: > runsocks cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.openoffice.org:/cvs login > CD $SRC_ROOT $SRC_ROOT> runsocks cvs / -d:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.openoffice.org:/cvs / co -r OpenOffice641C openoffice The non-bold slash means that the command should be in one line. It is possible to update an already existing older copy to a newer release: $SRC_ROOT> runsocks cvs / -d:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.openoffice.org:/cvs / update -r OpenOffice641C openoffice It seems that the openoffice project has been renamed oo. Johniies-come-lately (such as me) get a cryptic "project not found" error message. I've skimmed through dev mailing lists archives, which gave me the relevant hint (I *HOPE* I'm not mistaken in CVS'ing this oo project ...). Could the relevant webpages be updated ? Thanks in advance, Emmanuel Charpentier
The mistake I spot in the build docs is that the alias for the projects should be upper case 'OpenOffice', not 'openoffice'. If this doesn't work, please reopen this issue.
close issue.
