Checking Out Drupal using a bash shell

Checkout a specific Drupal version:
$ cvs -z6 -d:pserver:anonymous:anonymous@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal co -r DRUPAL-6-13 drupal
where “6-13” is the name of a particular Drupal release. You find out the name of the most current Drupal version by going to the Drupal.org home page. A complete list of versions is found at:List of core branches and tags.

Once you have a copy of the Drupal HEAD, keeping up-to-date is simple! Use the cd command to navigate your way into your HEAD directory, and then use:

$ cvs update -dP


to update all files to their latest versions. The -d creates any (new) directories that exist in the repository if they’re missing from your local working directory. The -P flag prunes any and all empty directories, i.e. directories that got removed in the repository will also be removed in your working copy too.

To update to a newer version of Drupal, you can use the version tag via the -r flag:

$cvs update -dP -r DRUPAL-6-13

You can also use the command:

$ cvs -q update -dP


to suppress informational messages related to the update (-q: quiet).

About:

Feralo is the creative portfolio of Noah Spahn. Spahn is a painter with degree in Studio Arts from Biola University, a deep interest in several marked periods of Art History, and Artists ranging from Caravaggio to Immendorf.

His work is typically a veiled glimpse into some facet of his current musings. The mediums used vary as much as their application, whilst the human form is generally the vehicle. Themes may include transcendental aesthetics or the rejection of visceral urges amidst the complexities of commonplace social environs. He has also been known to produce the occasional 'automatic painting', the interpretation of which probably lies in the realm of his unconscious.

During his 25 year career as an Artist, Spahn has worked as a commissioned limner, 3D modeler, architectural draftsman, aerosol muralist, portraitist, graphic designer, creative consultant and advertising director.
