CVS Question

Hello,
This is my first post in the forums here since I bought the SDK in November and so far, very pleased with my purchase. I'm a former A5 user and it just wasn't cutting it for my company's needs. Torque seems a better fit. We can't wait to try out the publishing side of GG. :)
Anyway, I see liberal references to downloading the HEAD from cvs but I can't find the cvs information. All I can find is the setup for 1.3 that contains the source and pre-compiled binaries. Has GG stopped giving cvs access or have I simply missed the cvs information?
Thanks in advance for any replies.

I kept getting redirected to www.garagegames.com/docs/torque/general/cvs before. What a pain. :)

"cvs [server aborted]: no such tag Release_1_2_0"
So, is everyone just using the download "thingie"? Or can CVS users still get code the old fashioned way? 8^)

Hmm, some of the info referred to in cvs.html appears to be incorrect:"cvs [server aborted]: no such tag Release_1_2_0"

There was a CVS server crash a while ago, so some of the older tags don't work properly. Torque users still have access to the CVS server, which still has code in it.

1. If I connect to CVS without specifying a tag, what portion of the tree will I connect to. It used to be HEAD. Is that still the case?
2. If question #1 is false, what is the new tag for the 1.3.0 tree? The CVS docs are a bit out of date and Release_1_3_0 didn't seem to work.
Thanks!

@Ben, Thanks for the info. I've been away from the community for a few months and just started to pick up where I left off. Two questions regarding CVS please:1. If I connect to CVS without specifying a tag, what portion of the tree will I connect to. It used to be HEAD. Is that still the case?
2. If question #1 is false, what is the new tag for the 1.3.0 tree? The CVS docs are a bit out of date and Release_1_3_0 didn't seem to work.
Thanks!

I didn't try to pull a release number, just grabbed without specifying a tag and I'm pretty sure I got HEAD.

I did the same thing as you, WinCVS set up without a tag and when I compiled the API docs with doxygen, they indicated CVS Revision 1.1.2.
That's the basis for my question to Ben. It *used* to be HEAD but now I'm not sure... maybe the API docs are wrong? Hopefully.
Oh Ben! Where art thou?

@Daniel, I think we got v1.1.2... 8^(I did the same thing as you, WinCVS set up without a tag and when I compiled the API docs with doxygen, they indicated CVS Revision 1.1.2.

Currently, HEAD and 1.3.0 are the same. CVS is case sensitive, so you might have to do RELEASE_1_3_0 or similar. The Doxygen doc configuration setting that sets the version is apparently out of date. :) I've put that on my todo list.
