Anonymous CVS Access

This project's SourceForge 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.amanda.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/amanda login 

  cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.amanda.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/amanda co modulename

Updates from within the module's directory do not need the -d parameter.

Once you've downloaded the code, cd into the directory and run the 'autogen' script.

The branch structure of the repository is confusing.
2.4.3 and 2.4.4 are points along the branch with the tag "amanda-243-branch".
The head of CVS corresponds to the version known as 2.5.
