Downloading Samba with CVS</h1> - - -<p>In <a href="ch02.html">Chapter 2</a> we showed you how to download the -latest stable version of Samba published by the Samba developers. For -most purposes (including virtually all production servers) this -procedure will meet your needs. However, sometimes you might want to -run a version of Samba that includes the latest bug fixes and -features, maybe for research and testing purposes, or just to see -what the Samba developers have been up to lately.</p> - -<p>The Samba team keeps the latest updates of the Samba source code in a -<a name="INDEX-1"/><a name="INDEX-2"/>Concurrent Versions System -(CVS) repository. CVS is a freely available -<a name="INDEX-3"/>configuration management tool -and is distributed under the GNU General Public License. You can -download the latest copy from <a href="http://www.cvshome.org/">http://www.cvshome.org/</a>. The Samba team -describes various ways to access its CVS repository at <a href="http://www.samba.org/samba/cvs.html">http://www.samba.org/samba/cvs.html</a>.</p> - -<a name="samba2-APP-D-NOTE-162"/><blockquote class="note"><h4 class="objtitle">WARNING</h4> -<p>Although the CVS code contains the latest features, it also contains -the latest bugs and sometimes won't even compile -properly! If you prefer a less "bleeding -edge" release, try looking in the -<em class="filename">alpha</em> and <em class="filename">pre</em> directories -on the Samba FTP server. The <em class="filename">alpha</em> directory -contains alpha releases, and the <em class="emphasis">pre</em> directory -contains (usually more stable) prerelease versions. (See <a href="ch02.html">Chapter 2</a> for information on downloading via FTP.) Alpha -releases might be a little behind the latest CVS code, but are less -buggy and usually compile properly on the more common Unix versions.</p> -</blockquote> - -<p>One of the nicest things about CVS is its ability to handle remote -logins. This means that people across the globe on the Internet can -download and update various source files for any project that uses a -CVS repository. Such is the case with Samba. Once you have CVS -installed on your system, you must first log in to the Samba source -server with the following command:</p> - -<blockquote><pre class="code">$ <tt class="userinput"><b>cvs -d :pserver:cvs@pserver.samba.org:/cvsroot login</b></tt></pre></blockquote> - -<p>When you are prompted for a password, enter <tt class="literal">cvs</tt>. -You are connected to the CVS server at -<tt class="literal">pserver.samba.org</tt>. Once you are connected, you can -download the latest source tree with the following command:<a name="FNPTR-1"/><a href="#FOOTNOTE-1">[1]</a></p> - -<blockquote><pre class="code">$ <tt class="userinput"><b>cvs -z5 -d :pserver:pserver@pserver.samba.org:/cvsroot co samba</b></tt></pre></blockquote> - -<p>This downloads the entire Samba distribution (file by file) into a -directory called <em class="filename">samba</em>, created in your current -directory. The <em class="filename">samba</em> directory has the same -structure as the Samba source distribution described in <a href="ch02.html">Chapter 2</a>, except that it has additional directories -named <em class="filename">CVS</em> throughout the source tree. These -directories are used by CVS to store information about each file in -the source tree and how to update them. After the download is -completed, you can follow the instructions in <a href="ch02.html">Chapter 2</a> to configure, compile, and install your new -Samba release.</p> - -<p>The Samba developers typically update the Samba source code one or -more times per day. Whenever you want to catch up to the latest -changes, simply <em class="emphasis">cd</em> to the -<em class="filename">samba</em> directory and run the following command:</p> - -<blockquote><pre class="code">$ <tt class="userinput"><b>cvs update -d -P</b></tt></pre></blockquote> - -<p>Each time you do this, you will need to reconfigure, recompile, and -reinstall to update your installation as we showed you in <a href="ch02.html">Chapter 2</a>.</p> - -<hr/><h4 class="head4">Footnotes</h4><blockquote><a name="FOOTNOTE-1"/> -<p><a href="#FNPTR-1">[1]</a> The <tt class="literal">-z</tt> option causes the transfer to be made -in GNU gzip compressed format and requires the -<em class="filename">gzip</em> program to be installed on your system to -work.
