Drupalers,<br><br>I'm new to using CVS for checking out Drupal. I just tried to update an installation that I had installed via a CVS checkout.<br><br>Via the command line, and in the drupal directory, I typed: <br><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">cvs update -dP</span><br>
<br>I was pleased to see some messages from the terminal that led me to believe it was a successful update. But after it was done, my site was still 5.3, like it was before the update.<br><br>Based on my limited knowledge of CVS, I think the problem might have been with my original CVS command, which was:<br>
<br><code> cvs -z6 -d:pserver:anonymous:anonymous@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal co -r DRUPAL-5-3 drupal<br><br></code><br>
Is this essentially impossible to update since I explicitly wrote 5-3? Should I just have written Drupal-5 to get the latest version of the Drupal 5 branch which would then be updatable with the cvs update command?<br><br>
Do I need to start over with a fresh CVS checkout?<br><br>Would this be the correct command:<br><br><code> cvs -z6 -d:pserver:anonymous:anonymous@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal co -r DRUPAL-5 drupal<br><br></code><br>
Thanks for the help.<br><br>Shai<br><a href="http://content2zero.com">content2zero</a><br>
