<h1>JMRI Code: Getting the OLD CVS Code (Archived)</h1>
|
|
|
|
<h2>This page is kept for historical purposes only!</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p class="important">JMRI has migrated away from CVS for version control to <a href=
|
|
"getsvncode.shtml">SVN</a> in July 2011, and on to Git in September 2015. For access to the
|
|
current JMRI source code, please see the <a href="getgitcode.shtml">Git repository</a>
|
|
page.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>JMRI release 2.12 (and earlier) were made from CVS, and to access that source code, you
|
|
should use the detailed instructions below.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Quick Start</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can download the JMRI source code via CVS using:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<code>
|
|
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@jmri.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/jmri login
|
|
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@jmri.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/jmri co all
|
|
</code>
|
|
</pre>(If asked for a password, just hit return)
|
|
<h2>Details</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Our source code up to JMRI version 2.12 was distributed using CVS. (We also kept the
|
|
<a href="WebSite.shtml">website</a> in CVS, if you'd like to work with it directly.) If you
|
|
want to work with the code, a few minutes installing CVS is well worth it. We're sorry, but
|
|
we just can't support other methods (sending .zip files, etc), as they're just too error
|
|
prone.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Many computers come with CVS installed, including Linux and Mac OS X. If you're using
|
|
Windows, you will need to install a CVS "client" program like <a href=
|
|
"https://sourceforge.net/projects/cvsgui/files/WinCvs/">WinCVS</a>.
|
|
|
|
<p>To get a copy of the source for your own use, you can use "anonymous checkout". For a
|
|
command line cvs client, make a new directory for the project, change to it, and tell CVS you
|
|
exist with</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@jmri.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/jmri login
|
|
</pre>This "login" line is only needed once; after that, it is remembered on your local machine.
|
|
You may be asked for a password. If so, just hit return, as the empty password will be accepted.
|
|
You can then get a copy of the code with
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@jmri.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/jmri co all
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>If you're using a GUI-based client like WinCVS, pull down the "admin" menu and select
|
|
"command line" to get a place to type these commands. On other computers, you can type them
|
|
directly on the command line.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you have an existing copy of the code and want to update it to the most recent contents
|
|
of CVS, the second command is:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@jmri.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/jmri -q update -dA
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>See also the <a href="CVSFAQ.shtml">CVS FAQ page</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>After the checkout is complete, you'll find directories called "xml", "resources",
|
|
"jython", "help", "lib", "java" and others. Change to the "java" directory. There, you will
|
|
find a "src" directory that contains the source code for JMRI itself, and a "tests" directory
|
|
that contains various test routines.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can look at the code with your favorite text editor. To compile and run it, you need
|
|
one of the compilation tools described on the bar at the left.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Once you're working with the code, you'll probably create some improvements you'd like to
|
|
contribute back to the project. This is where CVS has tremendous advantages; with the
|
|
appropriate permissions and commands, you can merge your changes back into the common source
|
|
automagically. Contact us when you're ready to do that or see the <a href=
|
|
"index.shtml#contributing">info on contributing</a>.</p>

<h2>Windows Details</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Getting and updating the code with tortoisecvs</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To get a initial checkout from CVS for your own use after installing
|
|
http://www.tortoisecvs.org/. Make a new directory for the project, by creating a folder named
|
|
"JMRISourceCode". Right Click (control-click) on that folder and select CVS CVS Checkout". In
|
|
the pane that opens for the CVSROOT enter</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<code><:pserver:jmri.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/jmri></code>
|
|
</pre>For the Server enter
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<code>< jmri.cvs.sourceforge.net></code>
|
|
</pre>On the lower right of the screen is a "Fetch List" button. Click that and a list will appear,
|
|
click on the 'all' line. Then Click "OK" on the bottom of the pane. A new pane will open and the
|
|
files will be downloaded; at the bottom of that pane is a check box called "Close on Completion",
|
|
check it. When the pane closes, the folder you created will have folders inside it with all the
|
|
JMRI files.
|
|
<p>Once you have performed the initial checkout from CVS in your local folder, to update them
|
|
select all of them and then Right Click and select "CVS Update". You can also just update a
|
|
single folder by selecting it, etc.</p>
