2.1.1 Step 1: Getting the Software

Developers with write-access to the Crystal Space CVS repository will require two separate software packages, the CVS client and the secure shell. Other users only require the CVS client.

Prerequisites

The WinCVS client uses Python and TCL for extended features that make using the client far easier and throws in some pleasant time savers for those mundane CVS tasks.

Python

The recommended Pyhton 2.2 or later can be obtained from:

http://www.python.org/ or http://www.activestate.com/

TCL

The recommended TCL 8.4 or later can be obtained from:

http://tcl.sourceforge.net/ or http://www.activestate.com/

WinCVS Client

The WinCVS client is as Crystal Space, open source and presently is an under development piece of software. A latest stable release of the WinCVS client can be obtained from the WinCVS website:

http://www.wincvs.org/

The Crystal Space development team recommends you download the latest recommeded release from the WinCVS website.

Secure Shell (SSH)

Note: The secure shell (SSH) software is only required by developers who have been granted write-access to the Crystal Space CVS repository by one of the project administrators. The administrators are:

Jorrit Tyberghein (jorrit.tyberghein@gmail.com)
Eric Sunshine (sunshine@sunshineco.com)
Frank Richter (resqu@gmx.ch)

Secure Shell software comes in a variety of forms and increasingly via some open source SSH projects. SSH for Windows can be obtained via the following website.

http://www.openssh.org

Note: The downloading of software including cryptography capabilities is outlawed in some countries. Please be sure to research if downloading such software is legal in your country. Neither the Crystal Space development team or individuals therein can be held accountable for the software any individual downloads knowingly or unknowingly.
