CVS BUILDING INSTRUCTIONS ========================= These are build instructions if you've checked out hs-plugins from CVS (instead of downloading a source distribution tarball). 1. Execute autogen.sh to generate the GNU ./configure script: ./autogen.sh 2. Build hs-plugins as usual with ./configure && make cvsps ===== For people who are used to more modern revision control systems (such as Darcs, Subversion and Arch) and miss working with 'patchsets' instead of the disjoint per-file patches that CVS uses, take a look at cvsps , a patchset manager for CVS. While it doesn't, by any means, give you the many advantages that more modern source control systems offer you, it certainly makes using CVS and managing patches far easier!
