Switching from CVS to Git as a Read-only User

If you’re just using the Antelope contributed-code, not contributing to it, you can switch from the CVS repository to the Git repository as follows. First move the old source-code base out of the way, if you have one:

% cd $ANTELOPE/src
% mv contrib old_cvs_contrib
%

If you didn’t have a previous CVS checkout of the Antelope contributed-code, just make a place for the new Git repository copy:

% mkdir $ANTELOPE/src
% cd $ANTELOPE/src
%

Make sure you have the ‘git’ source-code management tools from http://www.git-scm.com installed on your system. Now clone a copy of the Antelope-contrib git repository onto your own machine:

% git clone git://github.com/antelopeusersgroup/antelope_contrib.git contrib
%

That’s it! If you want to compile the entire distribution, type

% cd contrib
% make Include
% make install

If you want to update your checked-out copy of the source-code with the most recent editions to the Antelope contributed-code repository, use the ‘git pull’ command:

% cd $ANTELOPE/src/contrib
% git pull

Be aware that the latest release may contain modifications that are under development, or intended for newer releases of software than what you have installed on your system.
