Description charpen2 2002-08-15 14:56:53 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.
