<H1>linux.schottelius.org: gpm</H1>
|
|
<HR>
|
|
<h3>what is it?</h3>
|
|
<P>gpm means general purpose mouse and is the mouse support for linux
|
|
in the console.
|
|
<HR>
|
|
<h3>how to get it?</h3>
|
|
<P>Perhaps the best way to get gpm currently is via
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.venge.net/monotone/">monotone</a>, a cvs
|
|
successor. You have to retrieve the collection "org.schottelius.gpm" from
|
|
"linux.schottelius.org". You can get the public server key from
|
|
<A HREF="server-key.pub">here</A>.
|
|
<HR>
|
|
<h3>monotone - get (aka "pull")</h3>
|
|
<P>Here's a small manual howto get gpm via monotone:
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
|
|
# 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'
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
<!--
|
|
<h3>monotone - upload (aka "push")</h3>
|
|
<P>I assume you've got a database initialised (see above).
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
# generate a key pair (if you want to contribute changes)
|
|
scice% monotone --db=gpm.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
|
|
-->
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>For more information visit monotone's homepage, it has excellent
|
|
documentation!</P>
|
|
<HR>
|
|
<h3>archives</h3>
|
|
|
|
<P>Releases and archives are available
|
|
in <A HREF="ftp://arcana.linux.it/pub/gpm/">Italy</a> and
|
|
in <A HREF="ftp://ftp.schottelius.org/pub/linux/gpm/">Germany</a>.

|
|
<h3>cvs</h3>
|
|
<P>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:
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
$ 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
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
<HR>
|
|
<h3>documentation</h3>
|
|
<P>Is included in the package.</P>
|
|
<HR>
|
|
<h3>irc</h3>
|
|
<P>Well, there's now an irc channel #gpm on irc.freenode.org.
|
|
<HR>
|
|
<h3>mailing list</h3>
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
|
