====== Rsync ======

The usual way to download the crossfire code on sourceforge is by using [[:sourceforge:svn]] .\\
That is described on the [[:downloading]] page.

It is possible, to download the code by rsync, too.
<code>
rsync -a -v a.svn.sourceforge.net::svnroot/crossfire/$DIRECTORY
</code> The above shell code would list the files.

<code>
mkdir -p ./NewDir/
rsync -a -v a.svn.sourceforge.net::svnroot/crossfire/$DIRECTOTY ./NewDir/
</code> 
The above shell code would download the files into ./NewDir/ directory.

**DIRECTORY** would be the usual [[:arch:]], [[:maps:]], [[:client]], [[:server]], et cetera.


----

And for the older [[cvs]] repository:
<code>
rsync -a -v a.cvs.sourceforge.net::cvsroot/crossfire/$MODULENAME
</code> The above shell code would list the files.

<code>
mkdir -p ./NewDir/
rsync -a -v a.cvs.sourceforge.net::cvsroot/crossfire/$MODULENAME ./NewDir/
</code> The above shell code would download the files into ./NewDir/ directory.

**MODULENAME** would be the usual [[:arch:]], [[:maps:]], [[:client]], crossfire, et cetera.

A short test for the /sounds/ directory worked for me.
It downloaded mainly `,v' archive files, which need to be checked out using [[https://www.gnu.org/software/rcs|rcs]] .
