Anonymous Access

If your only interested in building the latest CVS version of tenforty anonymous CVS access is the simplest way to get it. Either download via the web interface (accessed via the main web site) or follow the instructions here or at the Web-site for direct download.

Note

Note there is a good chance that the versions available from CVS will not even build. They are after all under development and are not official releases. Stable and unstable releases are made only through the web site.

tenforty Web site http://tenforty.sourceforge.net/ .

For the Adventurous:

To quote the sourceforge cvs access page:

This project's SourceForge.net 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@cvs.tenforty.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tenforty login
When asked for a password just press enter. And Continue.

 
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.tenforty.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tenforty co modulename
Note: the module you wish to download is the last name on the above command (modulename is just an example.) Just name the directory you want to work with. Updates from within the module's directory do not need the -d parameter. (so once you have a copy no need to use the -d switch)

Anybody may access the development builds via the above methods. To directly contribute to tenforty CVS tree, read on.

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@cvs.tenforty.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tenforty co modulename

Setting Up a SourceForge Account

This section describes establishing an account at SourceForge. While it is specific to that developers portal similar procedures are required to access most secure sites.( for example Savannah and Freshmeat ) You should of course contact the administrator and or FAQ's for whichever server you are to be using.

The first thing you will have to do is set yourself up a SourceForge Account.

Go to the SourceForge Entry Page and follow the links to establish a new account.

To work with any Sourceforge hosted project you need to know your User ID , your Login Name and password.

These are recorded on your Personal Page and once enrolled as a tenforty developer this information is available from the developers info section of tenforty Project info. pages.

Record these somewhere safe and convenient. You are going to be using them.

Contact Us

If you haven't already done so Contact the Developers List or Jay Scherrer and ask to join us. We will need your Login Name: and User ID: number.

All contributions and feedback are welcomed.
