Re: 21.0 vs 21.2

Perhaps I need a little remedial CVS tutorial. Martin> ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/beta/xemacs-21.2 1. Before doing that I can look see how big the tarball is and choose accordingly where to put it. 2. When it arrives I can check the signature to tell me the file is uncorrupted since someone I might know signed it. 3. Before unpacking it I can see what is there and where it will go. 4. I can choose to put it where it won't clobber something that I already have and that works (or least that I know something about). 5. If I run out of space unpacking it I can without too much trouble try again someplace else. Martin> I recommend CVS, though. Martin> cvs -z9 -d :pserver:xemacs＠cvs.xemacs.org:/usr/CVSroot Martin> checkout -R r21.2.8 xemacs At minimum, how can I tell what I'm getting in for. How can I tell how big it is and where will it land. How can I specify where it will land? Where should I go to learn how to do these things? jam
