Getting SO Software via Anonymous CVS

The SO CVS repository can be checked out through anonymous (pserver) CVS with the following instruction set. The module you wish to check out must be specified as the modulename. When prompted for a password for anonymous, simply press the Enter key. 

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@song.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/song login
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@song.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/song co modulename

Updates from within the module's directory do not need the -d parameter.

You can check out the following modules. Note that capitalization is significant!

ontology The concepts and and terms of the SO in a DAG text format
software Some very preliminary Perl modules written by Mark Yandell for using the SO in the context of the Chado database schema
so-home The source for the SO website

Please note that although we do our best not to check in grossly malfunctioning software, the CVS versions of these packages are cutting edge and hence not guaranteed to be bug free. Always be careful when using these packages!

You can also browse the SO CVS repository to find particular files or to view the change history.

Developer CVS Access via SSH

Only project developers can access the CVS tree via this method. SSH1 must be installed on your client machine. Substitute modulename and developername with the proper values. Enter your site password when prompted. 

export CVS_RSH=ssh 
cvs -z3 -d:ext:developername@song.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/song co modulename
