Hi,,
I´m new.
Signed up at the sign up and gave my key, etc.
Trying to access the cvs, but I have absolutely no experience with cvs
whatever (except the local drugstore chain).
So I followed the instructions on the page indicated
(
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2003-December/msg00001....).
And then saw a long list of .po files go by in my terminal.
But I haven´t the slightest idea what to do beyond that....
and the list was so long and went by so fast...
Furthermore, I´ve never worked with po files, either. I yummed some
gui tools for that, so, perhaps I´ll figure that out.
I am an experienced translator (and interpreter), but have not worked
with software localization at all (trying to cut my
teeth here, really, to help my favorite OS, AND gain valuable
experience...)
I´ve been using Linux since RH7.0 and Fedora since FC1, but am nothing
like a linux guru/expert, by any means.
I downloaded some gui CVS tools, too. I have cervisia and lincvs.
Maybe someone could clue me in on their use or something?
I really have no comprehension of cvs at all....
truly clueless....

I think I´m following the directions, but not getting anywhere...(where
XXXX is, I am writing the password given me).
[tony@localhost ~]$ export
CVSROOT=:ext:abaldwin:XXXX@i18n.redhat.com:/usr/local/CVS
[tony@localhost ~]$ cvs -z9 co translate
cvs checkout: CVSROOT password specification is only valid for
cvs checkout: pserver connection method.
cvs [checkout aborted]: Bad CVSROOT:
`:ext:abaldwin:4534@i18n.redhat.com:/usr/local/CVS'.
[tony@localhost ~]$
If I try to use cervisia or lincvs, it keeps asking me for a module, and
I don´t know what to give it.
