How do you pull CVS from a specific date?

[mmoy]

I had a topic at pryan.org for this but I can't get to it and I don't see anything in my .bat files. I tried cvs co -D "205/05/10" but it seems to just give me the current date.

CVS is a very fluid thing. One small question : you want CVS pulled 2005/05/10 at midnight or 6 in the afternoon? Because the sources would be different. Plus for the developer to get specifically dated sources the CVS server must support it (I don't know if mozilla's does).

I used to do this all the time but my instructions are on pryan.org. It had the command to specify date and time. I just need an example. I tried a whole bunch of things earlier this morning and only got the latest source.

From the <a href="http://webtools.mozilla.org/build/config.cgi">build configurator</a>
<code>mk_add_options MOZ_CO_DATE="08 Jun 2005 10:08 PDT"</code>
in your mozconfig. This also works
<code>make -f client.mk checkout MOZ_CO_DATE="08 Jun 2005 10:08 PDT"</code>

From a tinderbox,
<code>cvs co -D "06/08/2005 16:08 +0000"</code>

The 205 in 205/05/10 is just a local typo ? Otherwise that would be it.

Thanks. The second one looks familiar.
