Is the best place to get what you want.

This file downloads the content of the amxmodx cvs server. Its not realy needed
since you can download it from their webpage anyways ( witch is exacly what these batch files does )

Its proberbly gonna fail on none english OS`es. But it might work. You can download the content yourself

http://www.tcwonline.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/amxmodx

The batch files simply open IE to the download link of the batch files. Its a crappy solution ( compared to the cvs downloader

)

Q)Its does not work on my computer
A) Use: http://www.tcwonline.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/amxmodx

Q) Cant use use the cvs.exe method on the amxx cvs serveR?
A) no, you cant do a anonymous checkout on it.

Q) Its blocks you cant do checkouts
A) It would preffere if i could, but instead of them fixing that. Id rather have a updated version of AMXX.

I am looking for a way to get everything from a module (or whole cvs) from a specified point in time. Say I want the cstrike sources exactly as they was last Thursday at 5:05 am. Is there any way to pull this off?
I'd hate have to go through revísions for every single source file trying to find the version closest to that time, but not newer than it. (its really impossible to do)

@EKS: the easiest way to download all files is to click on "Download tarball" ;)

@JGHG with the -D flag. e.g.

Code:

[ryan@bahnhof:~/test2 ] $ export CVSROOT=":pserver:user:pass@host:/path"
[ryan@bahnhof:~/test2 ] $ cvs login
[ryan@bahnhof:~/test2 ] $ cvs -z 3 checkout -D "Feb 2, 2004" module/
cvs server: Updating src
U src/changelog.txt
U src/installer.txt
U src/readme.txt
U src/upgrading.txt
cvs server: Updating src/examples
.
.
.

man cvs

Code:

       -D date_spec
              Use  the  most  recent  revision  no  later  than  date_spec (a single argument, date
              description specifying a date in the past).  A wide variety of date formats are  sup*********
              ported,  in  particular  ISO  ("1972-09-24 20:05") or Internet ("24 Sep 1972 20:05").
              The date_spec is interpreted as being in the local timezone, unless a specific  time*********
              zone is specified.  The specification is ``sticky'' when you use it to make a private
              copy of a source file; that is, when you get a working file using -D, cvs records the
              date  you  specified, so that further updates in the same directory will use the same
              date (unless you explicitly override it; see the description of the update  command).
              -D  is  available  with  the checkout, diff, history, export, rdiff, rtag, and update
              commands.  Examples of valid date specifications include:
                        1 month ago
                        2 hours ago
                        400000 seconds ago
                        last year
                        last Monday
                        yesterday
                        a fortnight ago
                        3/31/92 10:00:07 PST
                        January 23, 1987 10:05pm
                        22:00 GMT

thx a bunch

DopeFish · 03-09-2004 , 09:52

somwthing I forgot. the -D flag is normally "sticky" so the next time you try to update, it will still only get the version from that date. If that happens you can tell it to revert back to "the latest version" with "cvs update -A"
There is a pretty extensive documentation of cvs here: http://developer.apple.com/documenta...s/cvs_toc.html

Btw I found a much easier way using Tortoise, you just make a dir and when checking out, theres another page where you can specify a date to retrieve from, no exact hour+minute though.

I really should have a look at Tortoise, I am still using wincvs when programming at my windows machine.

This batch is great!
It's just one problem, but it is no problem with the batch:

The Plugins folder is empty.
