Upgrading to Beta

[tyrrund]

I have looked for info on upgrading my version to the new beta. The info on the main page doesnt seem to work. I saw another post on same question and he never explained how he got the cvs to work. Im a real noob to this so if someone can link a step by step I would really appreciate it.

Use cvs.sourceforge.net instead of what's in the docs.

(old one was cvs.seq.sourceforge.net)

Ok when i try the line export CVSROOT=pserver:[email protected]:/cvroot/seq I then type in next line cvs login I get error Bad CVSROOT. Any clues on what im doing wrong?

You are missing a colon. the line needs to look like this:

export CVSROOT=:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/seq

Sigh got passed that now I am stuck at CVS password:

When you are prompted with a password, just hit enter. Once you do this, the download will proceed.

Zaphod DID post a "How to install 5.0.0.7 for dummies", it's the second post on the main page (http://seq.sourceforge.net/) . There's nothing more to it than that. Anything that shows up as :p should actually be ":p". Also, the CVS server is "cvs.sourceforge.net", not "cvs.seq.sourceforge.net".

(Edit: added CVS server info)

Yes nothing much more to it than that, but his command is wrong..

He has an extra ' .seq ' in his CVS server connection line that shouldn't be there, and it is throwing a ton of people off...

From the posts ive read anyways

That change to CVS is only a few weeks old....

[keendevil]

Exactly, and the patch was implimented afterwards..so there ya go

Massive confused hopeless people

I promise to put some effort into getting the FAQ cleaned up after this weekend. I've had a revised FAQ on my hard drive for a couple of months, but I no longer have access to the original at the macsrule.com website to update it. There is some crazy new FAQ system available through this site that I have access to, but it's several hours of copying and pasting to set it up properly.
