LTSP-4 CVS Access

Sep 12, 2004 - James McQuillan

LTSP-4 source code is kept in a cvs repository. The server is cvs.ltsp.org.

We are keeping the main line of development on the trunk of the repository, and making branch tags for releases and milestones.

For a list of the modules, you can run the following command to get it:

  cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.ltsp.org:/usr/local/cvsroot checkout -s

You should get a list that looks like this:

  lbe              jam@Ltsp.org   lbe
  lbe_docs         jam@Ltsp.org   lbe_docs
  lbetree          jam@Ltsp.org   lbetree
  ltsp_installer   jam@Ltsp.org   ltsp_installer
  ltspcfg          jam@Ltsp.org   ltspcfg
  ltspinfo         jam@Ltsp.org   ltspinfo
  ltspinfod        jam@Ltsp.org   ltspinfod

The main module for the LTSP/LBE is lbe, and currently it has the following branches:

If you want to download and build the LTSP-4 source, you probably should pick a tagged branch, because at any given time, the trunk could contain unstable code that may or may not compile cleanly. Occasionally, we'll try to tag branches that at least compile, and run with some success. This way, you can try out some of the development stuff we are doing.

If you want to give it a try, the following should get a copy of a specific branch checked out:

  cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.ltsp.org:/usr/local/cvsroot checkout -r LTSP-4_1_0 lbe
If you want to play with the latest/greatest, then leave off the '-r LTSP-4_1_0' tag.

This will create a subdirectory called lbe which contains the following:

  build_all
  crosscomp-src
  initrd-src
  kernel-src
  lbe-src
  ltsp-src
  README
  TODO

If you really want to try the latest, just leave out the '-r LTSP-4_0_1' off of the cvs line:

  cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.ltsp.org:/usr/local/cvsroot checkout lbe


CVS Access to the LTSP Documentation

The source files used to generate the LTSP documentation is stored in a separate repository. The command to check out the doc sources is:

  cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.ltsp.org:/usr/local/cvs/ltspdocs checkout ltspdocs

The documentation is written in sgml/DocBook, so that we can produce various formations, including PDF, Postscript, HTML and text.

If you are interested in helping with the documentation, we have the following resources:
