J3D.org CVS Information

This entire site is managed using CVS. It is possible to download everything to your machine to keep up to date. Warning - it's big! As we don't provide a convenient zipped form of the site, this is the only way to fetch it.

Software

If you do not know what CVS is, or you know but don't have any software, then you should pay a visit to the CVS Homepage. CVS allows you to do incrememental updates of files as they become available, as well as rollbacks to earlier versions. Thus, the files that you download from CVS may not always be in a compilable state, but they'll be the latest copy, pretty much whatever the developers are working on at the moment.

If you are unfamiliar with CVS, The CVS Book comes with high recommendations from the J3d-interest listers.

MS Windows users who prefer pretty graphical interfaces rather than command lines should check out WinCVS

Downloading

Anonymous cvs read access can be had by using the following CVSROOT setting: 
  :pserver:anonymous@cvs.j3d.org:/cvs/j3d/cvsroot
There is no password required. (ie hit enter when asked for a password).
     Note
    If you are using WinCVS to access the code repository, please remove the :pserver: section from the start of the CVSROOT. The software automatically prepends this part for you, so there is no need supply it.

Of course, you need to know what to download once you have logged in. Here is a list of all modules in the system. A few of them are definitely work in progress and not pretty. Buyer beware!
