how to use cvs and patches
tdtooke:
It took me a bit to figure out that -D needed to be a parameter of the command and not cvs but I finally figured it out. Thanks! I recommend updating the wiki to idiot-proof it for guys like me that want to download older sources.

I'm going through the same thing and it's not super clear. Just sifted through CVS manual and I think this is working:
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@rockbox.haxx.se:/cvsroot/rockbox co -D yyyy-mm-dd rockbox-devel
....well it's downloading something form the repository anyway. Time will tell if it's the right one!
edit: i guess you beat me to it! i'll leave this up in case others are looking for it. I agree it would be great to add this info to the wiki. Perhaps I will complete my current project before getting into wiki crud though!
tdtooke:
That is exactly what I typed. I probably shoulda left an example instead of waiting on someone else to do it.

my compiled rockbox reports version 061017 though. that's today. I thought I was compiling aug 22, 2006. hrmmmmmmm

That's ok -- the date reported is the time you compiled it, not the cvs date.
Btw, if you want to have a description of -D in the wiki go ahead and add it -- that's the way a wiki is intended to work.
