updating snort using CVS

Posted by bschreiner on March 15, 2005 04:00:48

hey,
if i use these commands off the site to download the updated source:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.snort.org:/cvsroot login
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.snort.org:/cvsroot co -r SNORT_2_1 snort

what do i do to update once thats done or does that update it already?

thanks in advance!

That gets the latest code on a particular branch. You should probably be pulling either from SNORT_2_3 or HEAD, the _2_1 series is old at this point. Once you've grabbed the source from CVS, when updates are checked into the tree on the branch you downloaded you can sync just by typing 'cvs update' from within the Snort directory.
