He sent me back a > patch which I believe one must use with cvs; at least I used it with > cvs. If you have cvs installed on your system, go to the directory under > which you want to have the source directory for abook (I went to > /usr/local/src) and do the following: > > cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/abook login > When you are asked for a password just hit enter. > You should be returned to your shell prompt with no comment as I recall. > If you get a complaint from your cvs installation about no .cvspass file > just do it again. After this do the same command as above but instead of > login type checkout abook > and abook will be downloaded. Go into the abook directory and copy this > patch into the abook directory. Then type: > patch Note the lessthan sign with no space between it and the filename. You > should see some output showing the patching is being done and then will > be returned to the shell prompt.
