Hello,
Related to this, could someone update the cygwin CVS checkout example on the
following page:
http://sourceware.org/cygwin-apps/setup.html
Currently the example is:
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/cygwin-apps co setup
Should now be:
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anoncvs@sourceware.org:/cvs/cygwin-apps co setup
There are a few other links on this page that may need to be updated as well.
Thanks for your consideration.
Best regards,
Sam
