We allow anonymous (read-only) CVS access to everyone.  The first command you
need to run for anonymous CVS access is:
<pre>
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@busybox.net:/var/cvs login</pre>
<p>
CVS will prompt you for a password. Just press the Enter key (there is no
password for anonymous access).  This step only needs to be done once, the first
time you attempt to access CVS.
<p>
Once the login is complete, you can then check the list of available
CVS modules by running the following command (all on one line):
<pre>
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@busybox.net:/var/cvs co -c </pre>

<p>
If you wish, you can then check out a local copy of any of the 
available modules.  The following is an example of how to grab 
a copy of busybox and tinylogin:
<pre>
    cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@busybox.net:/var/cvs co -P busybox tinylogin</pre>
This will create a directory called <b>busybox</b> and a directory called
<b>tinylogin</b> in the current directory.  These directories contain the
latest and greatest source code for busybox and tinylogin.

<p>
I usually create a ~/.cvsrc file with the following things in it, and I
recommend you should use the same:
<pre>
    -z3
    update -dP
    rdiff -u
    diff -ubBwpN
    checkout -P</pre>

<p> 
Once you've checked out a copy of the source tree, you can update your
source tree at any time so it is in sync with the latest and greatest by
running the command:
<pre>
cvs update</pre>

Because you've only been granted anonymous access to the tree, you won't be
able to commit any changes. Changes can be submitted for inclusion by posting
them to the appropriate <a href="http://busybox.net/mailman/listinfo">mailing list</a>.

If you want to know all the gory details, you will want to visit
<a href="http://www.cvshome.org/">the CVS main web page</a>.<p>
For the impatient, the following is probably about all you need to know:
<p>

<dl>
    <dt><pre>cvs checkout -c</pre>
    <dd>Will list the modules available for checkout
    <dt><pre>cvs checkout &lt module name &gt</pre> 
    <dd>Will checkout the named module
    <dt><pre>cvs co &lt module name &gt</pre> 
    <dd>Same thing
    <dt><pre>cvs update</pre>

    <dd>Updates your local archive so it is in sync with the repository 
    -- your local updates are left intact.  Tries to merge upstream updates 
    into your local updates.  You will see the following tags when it is
    updating your local repository: C means conflict, U means update, 
    P means patched, and M means modified.
    <dt><pre>cvs up</pre>
    <dd>Same thing
    <dt><pre>cvs update &lt file name &gt</pre>
    <dd>Same thing but for just the named file(s)/directory(s).
    <dt><pre>cvs commit</pre>
    <dd>Will check in all your work.
    <dt><pre>cvs add &lt file name &gt</pre>

    <dd>Adds the named file/directory into CVS
    <dt><pre>cvs remove &lt file name &gt</pre>
    <dd>Removes the named file/directory from the upstream repository.
    <dt><pre>cvs rm &lt file name &gt</pre>
    <dd>Same thing
    <dt><pre>cvs log &lt file name &gt</pre>
