Patch CVS

I would like to check out the installer code for NeoOffice patches. My CVS is at a second grade level, however. Could someone tell me how to get it?

Also, once I get it, since I will be playing specificially with that part, and not the patch as a whole, i assume this means I will not be using the make file. should i edit the one that is there? or make a new one? or just hand compile?

thanks!

The installer code is actually all built in the makefile using command line utilities. There's no PackagMaker project or the like. You can view the makefile via cvsweb:

http://trinity.neooffice.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/neojava/makefile

The equivalent commands to use cvs in a terminal to get at it are (blank line separates commands, and the "csh" uses the shell for which they apply...it's my default shell). At the prompt for "cvs login" just use "anoncvs" as the password:

Oh yeah, look in the makefile for the target build.patch_package. That has the various instructions used to assemble the patch installers.
