How can I get early version of cvs!

[Alsulaiman, Thamer]

Hi,


I am Thamer Alsulaiman, a junior faculty at UIOWA. I will be teaching Object oriented design next Fall.


I am currently thinking of giving the students project on version control. I downloaded the CVS files from 2005. But I wish to get much earlier releases, which I expect to be simpler and have basic functionality. I need it as a basis to understand the basic building blocks of version control software, and design an OO project around it.


Kindly, any pointers will be appreciated.


Thanks.

You could checkout the sources from the cvs repository
See URL: https://savannah.nongnu.org/cvs/?group=cvs )

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anon...@cvs.savannah.nongnu.org:/sources/cvs login
: <enter your email address as the password>
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anon...@cvs.savannah.nongnu.org:/sources/cvs co ccvs

If you do a 'cvs log' you should see all of the old tags to check out
older versions that have been tagged. For example, you should be able to
get cvs1-5 in this way.

CVS 1.1 and 1.2 were a set of shell scripts written around RCS - The
Revision Control System.

The sources for versions prior to 1.3 were mostly shared on USENET in
comp.sources.unix and the like and cvs-1.4Alpha was shared as a set of
patches over email... which I do not believe I have any longer.

However, if you provide me space to upload, I could give you a number of
revisions from my personal archive.

You may also find that the cvsnt sources which are a rewrite in C++ may
be of interest.

Thank you, Mark and Thorsten.


I tried the commands on the webpage, but checkout is aborted.


This is shared google drive folder. You can access and add files as you please:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1waC-rt5N4xCfxVu9xj4SmHWyqoY0KhlK?usp=sharing


Version 1.5 or so should suffice.


Many thanks to all!

Are these archived anywhere?

Hm, some of them are still around and recent, but some peek interest.
Let’s talk about an upload method when it’s not middle of the night
around here (03:16).

“The final straw, to be honest, was probably my amazement at the volume of
petty, peevish whingeing certain of your peers are prone to dish out on
d-devel, telling each other how to talk more like a pretty princess, as though
they were performing some kind of public service.” (someone to me, privately)

Can’t you upload them to Savannah?

Otherwise, I’ll create a temporary user on a server of mine
and provide you with SSH for SFTP or rsync-over-ssh upload,
if we figure out a sane way for credentials exchange… can
you read this (encrypted using your Savannah PGP key)?

If so, reply with what it says (privately)… and consider switching
to an RSA key ☺

Can you also publish hashes/checksums of those files over a
separate channel, such as PGP-signed eMail here?

Thanks,

<igli> exceptions: a truly awful implementation of quite a nice idea.
<igli> just about the worst way you could do something like that, afaic.
<igli> it's like anti-design. <mirabilos> that too… may I quote you on that?
<igli> sure, tho i doubt anyone will listen ;)
