Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 6388
Hidden CVS instructions
Last modified: 2008-05-17 23:22:58 UTC
The instructions on how to download the OpenOffice source code via CVS are well hidden. It took me quite some time to find them. I expected to find them under "Download" or "Download | Developer" but failed. These pages already including frequent mentionings of "CVS". My suggestion is to integrate links to the CVS setup instructions.
Will fix this

I found them via Download > Developer > Source > Checking Out from CVS. It was fairly easy for me, but I do agree that it is deeply nested.
cvs instructions (or links to them) are also scattered throughout the project's pages. I think they are from the faq.html, from documentation.html, from website homepage, from Help (does anyone ever use the Help?). but we don't have a fully developed developers' page, and that would be the best place, too. louis
i don't have time to work on this right now, reassigning
Hi Rainer, I think, the situation has improved. Download Central and the Source download page have explanations about CVS access. If you have suggestions for further improvements feel free to reopen. Greetings, Stefan
