How to get old versions

Authored by: michaelaskew on Sunday, January 25 2004 @ 11:06 pm EST

Here's how to get old geeklog versions straight from cvs using a linux/unix shell (see also the cvs page on the resources menu). First run this command:


cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@geeklog.net:/usr/cvs/geeklog login

When promted, enter "geeklog" as the password. Then run this command (all on one line):


cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@geeklog.net:/usr/cvs/geeklog co -d
/path/where/you/want/geeklog -r REVISION_TAG geeklog-1.3

Replace "REVISION_TAG" in the above command with one of the following:


        geeklog-1_3_5rc1
        geeklog_1_3_5_1
        geeklog_1_3_5_stable
        geeklog_1_3_5sr1
        geeklog_1_3_5sr2
        geeklog_1_3_6_stable
        geeklog_1_3_6rc1
        geeklog_1_3_7_stable
        geeklog_1_3_7rc1
        geeklog_1_3_7sr1
        geeklog_1_3_7sr1_1
        geeklog_1_3_7sr2
        geeklog_1_3_7sr2_1
        geeklog_1_3_7sr3
        geeklog_1_3_7sr4
        geeklog_1_3_8_1
        geeklog_1_3_8_1_1
        geeklog_1_3_8_1sr1
        geeklog_1_3_8_1sr2
        geeklog_1_3_8_1sr3
        geeklog_1_3_8_stable
        geeklog_1_3_8rc1
        geeklog_1_3_8rc2

This will place the selected revision of geeklog in the directory /path/where/you/want/geeklog on your machine.

How to get old versions

Authored by: rv8 on Tuesday, January 27 2004 @ 04:45 pm EST

I appreciate the detail instructions on how to download old versions from
CVS. But it sure was nicer when you could simply download the tarball
directly.

If we are worried about people downloading the old version and thinking
it is the current one, could we simply pass them to a page that had big
letters "Warning - this is an out-of-date version of Geeklog. It may have
security issues that have been fixed in the current version. You may
download the current version at [insert URL for download page]. Are you
sure you want to download an out-of-date version?" If they click Yes,
then the download starts.
