<h3>using monotone</h3>
<P><A HREF="http://www.venge.net/monotone/">Monotone</a> is a cvs
successor. You have to retrieve the collection "info.clinux.cinit" from
"<B>monotone.schottelius.org</b>" (not unix.schottelius.org anymore!).
You can get the public server key from
<A HREF="../gpm/server-key.pub">here</A>.

<h3>Monotone - get (aka "pull")</h3>
<P>Here's a small manual howto get cinit via monotone:
<PRE>
# create a database
scice% monotone --db=cinit.db db init
# get the server key
scice% wget -q http://unix.schottelius.org/gpm/server-key.pub
# read the server key
scice% monotone --db=cinit.db read < server-key.pub
monotone: read 1 packet
# do an anonymous pull
scice% monotone --key="" --db=cinit.db pull monotone.schottelius.org info.clinux.cinit
monotone: warning: doing anonymous pull
monotone: rebuilding merkle trees for collection info.clinux.cinit
monotone: connecting to monotone.schottelius.org
monotone: [bytes in: 722110] [bytes out: 7405]
monotone: exchanged goodbyes and flushed output on fd 7 (peer monotone.schottelius.org), disconnecting
# extract source from the database to a directory
scice% monotone --db=cinit.db --branch=info.clinux.cinit checkout your-destination-directory
monotone: fetching heads of branch 'info.clinux.cinit'
</PRE>
<h3>How to change files (aka "push")</h3>
<P>I assume you've got a database initialised (see above).
<PRE>
# generate a key pair
scice% monotone -db=cinit.db genkey you@example.com
monotone: generating key-pair 'you@example.com'
Enter password:
Confirm password:
monotone: storing key-pair 'you@example.com' in database
# extract the key from the database
scice% monotone --db=cinit.db pubkey you@example.com > you@example.com.pubkey
</PRE>
Now send the key to me, so I can add it to the monotone server on
monotone.schottelius.org.
<B>Note:</B> This is only for people, who want to contribute to cinit,
you'll not need to do this, if you only want to get the sources!
<P>For more information visit monotone's homepage, it has excellent
documentation!</P>
