Anonymous CVS Access

Geeklog's CVS repository can be checked out through anonymous (pserver) CVS with the following instruction set. When prompted for a password for anonymous, simply enter "geeklog". To determine the names of the modules created by this project, you may examine their CVS repository via the provided web-based CVS repository viewer for Geeklog 1.x or Geeklog 2.x, respectively.

PEAR

Geeklog requires PEAR for some functions, e.g. to send emails. If you don't have PEAR installed on your webserver, download the following tarball and unpack it inside your /path/to/geeklog/system/pear directory:

Please note that the CVS version may require more or other PEAR packages than the official releases. The above tarball should include all you need for the current CVS version.

General Notes

The developers try to keep CVS in a working state. However, this may not always be the case. Also, it is not recommended to mix files from CVS with previously released versions unless you know exactly what you're doing ...

If you're interested in keeping up with CVS development, we recommend you subscribe to the geeklog-devel and geeklog-cvs mailing lists.
