Accessing the Busybox CVS Repository

BusyBox
Anonymous CVS
We allow anonymous (read-only) CVS access to everyone. The first command you need to run for anonymous CVS access is:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@busybox.net:/var/cvs login

CVS will prompt you for a password. Enter the password anonymous and press the Enter key. This step only needs to be done once, the first time you attempt to access CVS.

Once the login is complete, you can then check which modules are available for checkout by running the following command (all on one line):

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@busybox.net:/var/cvs co -c 

You can then check out any of the available modules. The following is an example of how to grab a copy of busybox and tinylogin:

    cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@busybox.net:/var/cvs co -P busybox tinylogin
This will create a directory called busybox and a directory called tinylogin in the current directory. These directories contain the latest and greatest source code for busybox and tinylogin.

Once you've checked out a copy of the source tree, you can update your source tree at any time so it is in sync with the latest and greatest by running the command:

cvs -z3 update -d -P
Because you've only been granted anonymous access to the tree, you won't be able to commit any changes. Changes can be submitted for inclusion by posting them to the appropriate mailing list.
