RPM CVS info

The current RPM source tree is availible by anonymous CVS.
To look at the current work

       cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.rpm.org:/cvs/devel login
       (no password, just carriage return)
       cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.rpm.org:/cvs/devel get rpm
       cd rpm

To get to the "production" rpm-2.5.x branch, then do
       cvs up -r branch-r2-5
       cd popt                 # popt has different branch structure
       cvs up -A
       cd ..

Otherwise, to get to the "development" rpm-3.0 branch, then do
       cvs up -D "12/16/1998"  # I believe everything "worked" here
       cd popt                 # popt has different branch structure
       cvs up -A
       cd ..

To build, I do
       ./autodep.sh
       make

You will probably see some automake/autoonf noise the 1st time you
type make because CVS destroys time stamps during the checkout ...
