All the public projects hosted here are also available from the CVS server. You may want to browse the files with your WEB client or access directly the CVS server using a proper CVS client. From here you can download the most updated (possibly unstable... :-) version of every module, read the instructions that follow to know how.

Access to the CVS Server

You may also access the public part of the CVS Server hosted here using the server name cvs.icosaedro.it, user name anonymous, empty password and directory /home/cvs. Usually this can be accomplished simply setting an environmental variable, then calling your preferred CVS client:

$ export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous:@cvs.icosaedro.it/home/cvs/repo
$ cvs checkout MODULE

How to contribute

If you made any improving, extension or correction to the distributed source code or to the distributed documentation, and you think that it should be made available from this WEB site, fell free to submit to me your work, either as a patch (preferred) or simply sending me the files you changed. Generating a patch is very simple. Start defining the CVSROOT environmental variable as stated above, then generate the patch file:

$ cd your/local/copy/of/the/project
$ cvs diff -u > /tmp/patch.txt

Attention: new files and new directories are not added with the command above. If you added new files or new directories, then you will need to pack them inside a tarball file with a command similar to this one:

$ tar cvz new_file some_dir/another_file new_dir > /tmp/files.tar.gz

Then send to me an email at salsi@icosaedro.it. In your message remember to:

• Specify a subject, something like "My patch to ProjectName".
• A short description of the changes you made, so that it may be reported in the CHANGES file tied to the package, along with your full name and email address.
• Remember to attach the patch /tmp/patch.txt to the message.

License

All the modules are distributed under some "open source" copying license, either BSD-style or GPL, or other as specified in the LICENSE or README file tied to the module.
