Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop version and CVS

[sreddy64]

Does Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop version comes with CVS?. If not, how can I get compatible source/binary for CVS?.

Thanks for your time.

CVS can be installed with the following command at the terminal:


sudo apt-get install cvs

You'll be asked to enter your password, and then confirm the installation. However, as I can see from your thread on the Installation forum, you can't do this as the machine is not connected to the Internet. I'd suggest looking at Keryx (http://keryxproject.org/).

Good luck!

Thanks for your posting. I was able to use Keryx package and download the updates.
When run the command

sudo dpkg -i –force-depends *.deb

it is throwing lot of error messages like this and finally it exists. Am I doing anything wrong here?

Thanks

Thank you very much for pointing me to Keryx. I was able to update Ubuntu 9.04 using keryx , configure CVS and use it. Keryx is a nice utility if you are dealing with offline machines.
