Greetings, all --
I have been lurking for a couple of weeks and would
like to start contributing to OpenLDAP development, but I have one pretty major
obstacle standing in the way. It seems that the development version is
available only through CVS. Unfortunately, my Internet access is heavily
firewalled, and I can only do HTTP and single-file FTP retrieval, so CVS
(and CVSup for that matter) will not work for me.
From what I can tell, downloading an entire source
tree through CVSWeb would involve riding the web browser for hours and hours --
downloading each file individually. That would be such a fantastically
labor-intensive process that it just isn't practical.
So my question is, is there some kind of daily or
weekly snapshot of the CVS repository available in a single file (tarball or
similar format) that I could download through web or web-proxied FTP
transfer? If there are no such snapshots, would it be possible to set up
such a thing? Or maybe there is some other quick 'n easy method to get the
latest development version that I'm not aware of?
Oh, and before everybody suggests the obvious
workarounds ... no, I don't have any other Internet access, I don't control the
firewall/proxy configurations, and I can't influence the people who do. In
short, I either do this through HTTP (or web-proxied FTP) or I don't do it at
all.
