( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Just in case someone runs into this issue, I thought I would go ahead and post this.

Previously, I had already obtained a copy of the Parrot engine thru CVS (current details available at http://dev.perl.org/cvs/), issuing (at the time) the commands:

# cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.perl.org:/cvs/public login  
# cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.perl.org:/cvs/public co parrot
When I attempted to update this time using the second command again, I received the message
cvs checkout: in directory .:
cvs [checkout aborted]: *PANIC* administration files missing

I was lucky enough to get a response from Elian in the CB, who suggested that I needed to remove the old directory to get it to work (which it did).

My other questions during that session I think others also may have, which included such things as:

  • If I don't consider myself a strong/good coder, but want to help, how can I do so?
  • What resources are recommended for someone wanting to help out? The Apocalypses? The Exegesises? The perl6-* lists? Others?

I'm sure myself and others have additional questions such as these, or possibly suggestions as well.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
