I am reading stuff and looking through archives prior to asking questions in
the forum. I sense from your shorter responses and tell me to go to links
that you feel I am not. I apologize for being a pain again. I just am not
familiar with how people respond to problems with getting samba working and
things like cvs...
Anyway the did the following:
did this -> 1. Install a recent copy of cvs. All you really need is a
copy of the cvs client binary.
2. run the command
did this -> cvs -d :pserver:cvs at pserver.samba.org:/cvsroot login
did this -> 3. when it asks you for a password type cvs
4. run the command
did this -> cvs -z5 -d :pserver:cvs at pserver.samba.org:/cvsroot co samba
is this the latest 2.2 source? or is it 3.0 --- I have no way to tell ->
This will create a directory called samba containing the latest samba source
code. This corresponds to the HEAD development branch.
how do I know what branch to use for 3.0? -> If you want a different
branch use the -r option to the co command to specify the branch. For
example to checkout the SAMBA_2_2 branch run the command
cvs -z5 -d :pserver:cvs at pserver.samba.org:/cvsroot co -r SAMBA_2_2 samba
thought, oh cool, I can cd to /usr/local/samba and type this to update, but
it whines with the following: cvs update: No CVSROOT specified! Please use
the `-d' option
cvs [update aborted]: or set the CVSROOT environment variable. -> 5.
Whenever you want to merge in the latest code changes use the following
command from within the samba directory:
cvs update -d -P
Is it difficult for you to give me just the cvs commands I need to update
3.0? I did read all this prior to asking for the exact commands...

Follow the instructions at http://build.samba.org under 'Access via CVS'
for downloading a new checkout. You can't 'upgrade' your expanded
tarball to a CVS checkout, unfortunately.
