gpm means general purpose mouse and is the mouse support for linux -in the console. -
Perhaps the best way to get gpm currently is via -monotone, a cvs -successor. You have to retrieve the collection "org.schottelius.gpm" from -"linux.schottelius.org". You can get the public server key from -here. -
Here's a small manual howto get gpm via monotone: -
- -# create a database -scice% monotone --db=gpm.db db init - -# get the server key -scice% wget -q http://linux.schottelius.org/gpm/server-key.pub - -# read the server key -scice% monotone --db=gpm.db read < server-key.pub -monotone: read 1 packet - -# do an anonymous pull -scice% monotone --key="" --db=gpm.db pull linux.schottelius.org org.schottelius.gpm -monotone: warning: doing anonymous pull -monotone: rebuilding merkle trees for collection org.schottelius.gpm -monotone: connecting to linux.schottelius.org -monotone: [bytes in: 722110] [bytes out: 7405] -monotone: exchanged goodbyes and flushed output on fd 7 (peer linux.schottelius.org), disconnecting - -# extract source from the database to a directory -scice% monotone --db=gpm.db --branch=org.schottelius.gpm checkout your-destination-directory -monotone: fetching heads of branch 'org.schottelius.gpm' -- - - -
For more information visit monotone's homepage, it has excellent -documentation!
-Releases and archives are available -in Italy and -in Germany. -
CVS is still available, but obsolete. The last time a commit to cvs -could have happened was 19-May-2004 (it was earlier than that, but at this -time we changed to monotone). Still, if you really want (a perhaps outdated tree), -here's the way to go: -
-$ cvs -d :pserver:cvs@ar.linux.it:/data/cvs login -(Logging in to cvs@ar.linux.it) -CVS password: (type "cvs" here) -$ cvs -d :pserver:cvs@ar.linux.it:/data/cvs checkout gpm --
Is included in the package.
-Well, there's now an irc channel #gpm on irc.freenode.org. -
- -The mailing list devoted to gpm is "gpm@lists.linux.it" -The list is managed by Mailman and is currently open, -so non-subscribers are allowed to post. - -In order to subscribe to the mailing list, visit -http://www.linux.it/mailman/listinfo/gpm or send a message -with "subscribe" in its body to gpm-request@lists.linux.it . For example: - - echo subscribe | mail gpm-request@lists.linux.it --
