Pulling milestone sources with CVS

Post by Robert Archer »

Hi all,

I've been building the nightlies with some success on Solaris, still trying on FreeBSD. According to <a href="http://mozilla.org/projects/phoenix/releases.html">Phoenix Releases</a> the milestones are the most stable builds, but we don't have source tarballs for them.

I'm guessing that to pull milestone sources, I would create a new directory and say:

<code>cvs co -r $MOZ_TAG mozilla/client.mk
cd mozilla
gmake -f client.mk checkout
cvs up -r $PHX_TAG -Pd browser toolkit</code>

Is this the right approach? Does anyone know the correct tags for the 0.5 milestone?

Thanks.

The correct tag for 0.5 build is "PHOENIX_0_5_RELEASE". You can find out tag for any release by running

"cvs status -v" command on any of the source files. My personal preference is to run it on "mozilla/client.mk" file, since it is included in all of the builds.

As for getting the sources, most of the time I only use the "up" flag on the entire tree. It goes by much faster than trying to do the full checkout of Mozilla tree. From time to time, I might do the full checkout though, just in case.

Hope this help (although I know this reply is kind of late),
