You need a CVS user account in order to check out source files from the repositories. There is a read-only CVS account open to the public. If you don’t have a writable CVS user account and you want to contribute significantly to open IRIS development on cvs.openiris.org, request one by emailing calo-support@calo.sri.com. For CALO developers, you will already have an account, the same username and password as sedc2.sri.com. To access the read-only CVS account:
Set CVSROOT to ":ext:r_only@cvs.openiris.org:/home/cvs/iris"
If using command line CVS, set the environment variable CVS_RSH=ssh
"cvs co iris", the password is "r_only"
