Edit report at http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=3339&edit=1 ID: 3339 Updated by: pierre.php@gmail.com Reported By: neuhauser at chello dot cz -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Id: 3339 Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Web Site PHP Version: Irrelevant -Assigned To: +Assigned To: pajoye New Comment: Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PEAR itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PEAR, please visit http://pear.php.net/support/ as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Thank you for your interest in PEAR. There is a link to the webcvs, instructions to use anonymous cvs access are in the php manuel. Packages outside php repository are special cases, it is then up to the maintainers to provide this information. That said, I really like to force: a) use a cvs b) use php cvs for any pkg in pear.php.net Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-26 10:16:03] smith at pooteeweet dot org Ah ok. Well most packages are in cvs.php.net and follow a clear naming standard in CVS. So its effectively a non issue. It is however an issue for packages living outside of PEAR CVS. Few if them even provide a web cvs/svn links and I do agree that it would be important to provide the necessary information there (including anonymous username/password). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-26 09:30:48] neuhauser at chello dot cz I don't want to use the web interface, I want to *check out* the source. Like: cvs -qd:pserver:whoever@wherever:/path co For that, I need to know the :pserver:whoever@wherever:/path part. How is Chora supposed to help me? I don't see what's bogus about this request. Again, I don't need a web page URL, I need the right value for the cvs -d switch. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-13 15:54:59] smith at pooteeweet dot org there is a "Browse the source tree" button on the relevant package homepage that developers can configure for their package, please contact the relevant maintainer if there is no link. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-01-31 16:48:55] neuhauser at chello dot cz Description: ------------ i think the subject says it all. i just wanted to submit a patch to one of the packages, but now i need to first dig out the right CVSROOT value. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=3339&edit=1
