In this How-To we want to work on the package 'e-smith-base'. We first need to download (with CVS this is called retrieving) the code for 'e-smith-base' from the SME Server CVS repository. For this issue the following command:

In this How-To we want to work on the package 'e-smith-base'. We first need to download (with CVS this is called retrieving) the code for 'e-smith-base' from the SME Server CVS repository at SourceForge. For this issue the following command:

  cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@smeserver.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/smeserver checkout -P e-smith-base

  cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@smeserver.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/smeserver checkout -P e-smith-base

  cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@smeserver.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/smeserver co -P rpms  

  cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@smeserver.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/smeserver co -P rpms

Now change to the e-smith-base SME8 directory:

First change to the work directory:

  cd ~/home/smeserver/rpms/e-smith-base/sme8

  cd ~/home/smeserver/rpms/e-smith-base/sme8

Then we have to prepare a tree. Issue the following commands:
