cvs help?

[Charles Hallenbeck]

Just hit 'enter' and it will work. I have attached "READ:ME.cvs" which
explains.

The New England Journal of Medicine reports that 9 out of 10
doctors agree that 1 out of 10 doctors is an idiot.

The cvs version of speakup uses a script which is designed to contact
the cvs server, download the most current files and apply the patches.
For this to work correctly you must have a clean linux source tree in
/usr/src/linux.  The checkout script can be run from any directory the
first time.  After the first time you will want to run it from
/usr/src/linux/drivers/char/speakup to do future updates.

Once you have downloaded the checkout script you will need to make it
executable by typing:

chmod 755 checkout

in the directory where you have placed the script.  Next type:

./checkout

The script will respond when run with "No CVSROOT set hit return to
select anonymous". You just hit enter and you should be prompted for a
password.  All anonymous passwords on our cvs server are the single
word 'please'.  I guess if you can't say please you can't have
what you want! 'grin'

If everything goes all-right you will see multose cvs updating
messages and patching messages.  The patching and copying portion is
important to watch.  If you see any unsuccessful patches or copies
then something has gone wrong and it will not work.

If you are using a brain dead Redhat distribution you will need to
make sure you have bash 2.x running as bash.

Everything else is the same for compiling any kernel.
