How do I donwload the source code?!?!

[csolar]

I looked all over the sourceforge website and all I can find is the executable.  Can someone tell me where I can download the source code?  ?(

http://sourceforge.net/projects/planeshift is the main page for the project. All the code is in a version control tool called \"CVS\".  You can browse the CVS archives from the web or you can use a CVS client to download all the source files automatically.  See the help documentation on SF.NET to figure out how to do all this.

Thanks,
Venge

Ok, I went there and read thier entire turtoial on setting up putty, wincvs and everything.  But I keep on gettign stuck on the \"Testing automated authentication\" step.  It keeps on asking me for a password when it shouldn\'t.  So I looked at the troubleshooting page and I find that I have to have a developers acount.  How do I get a developers acount?  Then I tried that loggin in as anonymous like it says in the CVS part of the Planeshift main page.  But it wants a password to.  The site just says to press enter when it asks for one but that didn\'t work either.  What am I doing wrong?   ?(

I just starting tinkering with the WinCVS program after I posted last.  I discovered that I can connect to: anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/planeshift but this is what the window says after I press enter at the \"Please enter a password\" screen.  

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/planeshift login
Logging in to :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:2401/cvsroot/planeshift

(**right here it asks for my password then,**)


***** CVS exited normally with code 0 *****


it justs exits with exit code 0.  I know that a rejected password or username gets an exit code of 1, so what am I still doing wrong?

Ok. A couple of things.   The  automated authentication is for if you want to have write access to the cvs ( ie be a developer ) so you don\'t have to worry about that.

Next your CVS root should be:
 anonymous@cvs.planeshift.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/planeshift

I cannot remember the exact wincvs since I do not use it very much ( I use linux most of the time ).  But if you continue to have problems then let me know and I\'ll fire it up and see if there is anything you are missing.

sorry, I should of said I tried that.  I tried all the connectoins that the Planeshift main page says.  My problem is that it won\'t let my give an empty password for anonymous.  I don\'t know whats going on.

I\'m still lokking around the SF site for a cure to my problem.  I tried putting these lines into the command line... option:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.planeshift.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/planeshift login
 
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.planeshift.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/planeshift co planeshift

and this is exaclty what I get back from WinCVS, from startup to failure.

Python 2.2.2 (#37, Oct 14 2002, 17:02:34) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
CVSROOT: anonymous@cvs.planeshift.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/planeshift (password authentication)
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.planeshift.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/planeshift login
\\n
\\ncvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.planeshift.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/planeshift co planeshift

***** CVS exited normally with code 0 *****

Am I putting in the wrong command line or am I way off course?

Ok. This is the steps I do to check out the code.

1) Start up wincvs
2) go to Create->Checkout Module
3) Select the \'Checkout Settings\' tab and fill in the information there.  http://www16.brinkster.com/acraig/out.html
4) Select the \'General\' Tab and fill in the information there  http://www16.brinkster.com/acraig/out.html
5) Hit \'OK\'
6) It should then start downloading the source code.
you should start to see all the files it downloads.

Ah, I finnaly got it.  Thanks for your help.  Maybe you should pin this up somewhere so other people can figure this out.  I know I would of never figured it out.
