access cvs

Hey all,

for those of you who want to have a closer look at the source or build
from CVS, here's an easy way to access the repository anonymously. The
client tool is CVSGrab[1], which runs over the web interface and should
work even if you're behind a firewall.

The repository can also be browsed at: http://cvs.pingdynasty.com


Instructions for anonymous CVS access to the pingdynasty repository:

- Install Ant[2], preferrably v1.5, and JDK 1.2+

- Download the top-level build file to an empty directory:
http://download.pingdynasty.com/tools/cvsgrab/build.xml

- Run the build file (cd to the directory and run ant). This will first
download three jar files needed by CVSGrab and then ask you for the name
of a CVS module, eg ObjectBox.
A new directory will be created for each module that is checked out.

Easy!

To do a CVS update, go back to the top level directory and run the
check-out procedure again. This will only download files that have
changed.
