Anonymous CVS Access to Browser Code

We switched our source code control system from CVS to git on June 12, 2010. This page is OBSOLETE. For more details, please see CVS to Git Migration.

csh or tcsh:

setenv CVSROOT :pserver:anonymous@genome-test.cse.ucsc.edu:/cbse

bash or sh:

export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@genome-test.cse.ucsc.edu:/cbse
cvs login 
Logging in to :pserver:anonymous@genome-test.cse.ucsc.edu:2401/cbse 
CVS password: genome 
cvs co -P -rbeta kent

U kent/src/README 
etc...

To update an existing source tree, use the command: cvs update -A -d -P -rbeta. At a minimum, you should update your source tree biweekly. The Genome Browser is under continual development; as a result, significant enhancements and new features are added on a regular basis. A new beta tag marks The new release of the code, usually every two weeks, is marked with a new beta tag.

After an update the source tree can be rebuilt with the sequence:

cd kent/src
make clean
make cgi 

The "make clean" step is important.

See also: the README files in the source tree directory src/product/README.*.
