Getting sources for a released JBoss version from CVS

(juha contributed:)

Q: I want to pull the sources from the CVS and build my distribution manually. How do I know which branch and tags to use?

A: The CVS tag naming conventions that we use are described in detail on this page: http://www.jboss.org/developers/guides/cvs-admin.jsp

In short we use the following conventions:

- Final Binary Releases: JBoss_.<even_minor>.
- Beta Binary Releases: Rel_.<even_minor>..
- Development Binary Releases(optional): JBoss_.<odd_minor>.
- Alpha Development Builds(optional): Rel_.<odd_minor>..

Example final release tags are: JBoss_2_2_0, JBoss_2_2_1, JBoss_2_4_13, JBoss_3_0_0.

How to check out jboss 4 ?

thanks!

There is no JBoss 4 branch yet. Check out HEAD by simply leaving away the revision (-r) option please. This way you will get the latest development version, which means it is pre-alpha and probably broken.
