Hi: I want to use the L4Linux-2.6.16 but according to the instruction of L4Linux website the latest version is L4Linux-2.6.17. How can I download it? If I use the "cvs -z3 -d :pserver:guest@os.inf.tu-dresden.de:/home/remote-cvs co l4linux-2.6" to download the L4Linux-2.6 what is the detailed version of L4Linux-2.6?
The L4Linux currently sitting in CVS is based on 2.6.17. You can get the version of a Linux source tree by reading the first 5 lines of its Makefile:
someone@somewhere src % cd l4linux-2.6 someone@somewhere l4linux-2.6 % head -n5 Makefile VERSION = 2 PATCHLEVEL = 6 SUBLEVEL = 17 EXTRAVERSION = -l4 NAME=Crazed Snow-Weasel
Sorry, I think I can't express my meaning correctly. I want to download the L4linux-2.6.16 package. But now if I download the l4linux-2.6 with cvs the l4linux-2.6 is based on linux-2.6.17 not 2.6.16. But how I download the L4Linux-2.6.16? Thank you! chenggh

hi, please checkout previous revisions of the linux files (not much younger than date: 2006-03-26 22:55:58):
cvs co -D 2006-03-27 l4linux-2.6
to evaluate such dates you can do:
cvs log Makefile
in your L4Linux directory and you possibly (if you have the access rights) will find the dates of the all previous revisions + comments.
hope that helps

I don't know if it's possible to view the cvs log remotely but you can do 'cvs log Makefile' if you have already checked out l4linux. This will show you the revision history of this file and lists revision 1.13 as the latest one based on 2.6.16.
Now, 'cvs -d :pserver:guest@os.inf.tu-dresden.de:/home/remote-cvs checkout -r 1.13 l4linux-2.6' will retrieve revision 1.13.
