Subject: What CVS files do I need to download?
I need some beginner help on downloading CVX. I went to
http://ftp.gnu.org/non-gnu/cvs/
and found two directories, binary and source. Since I will
not be modifing the code, I assume I want something from the
binary directory. Opening the binary directory, I a readme
file and two directories, feature and stable. Opening these
directories, I find a Windows.txt which says I want X86-woe.
Opening the Stable directory I find various .zip files. I'm
guessing the I want to download the most recent zip file,
namely cvs-1-11-22.zip, posted 26-Jan-2006. In the Features,
directory I find the most recent file is cvs-1-12-13a.zip.
posted 02-June-2006.
So, bottom line. Are the zip files
cvs-1-11-22.zip and
cvs-1-12-13a.zip
Now, further information. I am a home, no commercial, user
who does development for myself and friends. I need CVS, with
NetBeans, because I develop on 3 different PC's.
Greatly appreciate your advice and suggestions. Thanks you.
Bruce
