get the latest perl code and XML files (the
proxy/firewall/services/configuration databases) from the Sourceforge
CVS?
You have the following possibilities:
- You don't really need to. The Nov, 2002 release implemented a
button to get the latest proxy database for you. That's probably the
thing you need to update most often, but even there the released version
is good for months. Bug fixes you just *must* get are usually only in
one or two files, so the web browser approach below would be adequate.
- The best way is to
get yourself a CVS client. WinCVS seems to be poplar, though not
recommended by many who have used it. Still, it's free, open source
etc., and for this job you only need the smallest part of one of it's
functions. I installed it myself and wrote this
to help people install and use it easily.
- The web-browser approach for quick and dirty updates of a
file or two:
To: proxy-elites@yahoogroups.com
