Newbie - How to checkout/build everything

[David Doucette <da...@citilink.com>]

I've found some information on the net where people have asked this same 
question (due to problems with build dependencies) and were given a cvs 
command to checkout everything required to do a full build.  However, this 
failed for me, so I'm assuming I need the latest 
information.  Specifically, I think I was told the module name was invalid.

If someone could give me the full cvs line needed to checkout the module 
containing everything (including dependencies that James needs) and the 
batch files to run to build the thing, I would really appreciate it.

In addition, is there any documentation on how mailets and the XML config 
file work?  The information I've found online seems very sparse.

Thanks!

PS.  If anyone responsible for the list software is reading this -- the 
list software is reading the "From" header in my e-mail messages instead of 
the "From:" (with colon) header.  Unfortunately, Elm (my mail client 
normally) is putting my login name (just "david") for the From 
header.  Although I can create an elmheaders file and cause the From: 
header to have my full e-mail address, and although this works for anyone 
I've ever sent e-mail to, it isn't working for the list software.  I didn't 
get any replies when I tried to subscribe, so I sent from a different mail 
program that doesn't even create a "From" header, and only creates a 
"From:" header.

Charles,
I was looking for the same and just tried the above.  The java-framework
module does not exist.  In jakarta-avalon the revision avalon-james-1-1b1
does not exist.

any other ideas?  I was also trying to find the old avalon sources.

Jim

For the last release (December 2000 - James 1.2.1), you need to get the
tag JAMES-1_2_1 from jakarta-james module and the tag avalon-james-1-1b1
from module java-framework (both modules in jakarta.apache.org:/home/cvs

For current cvs (which is quite different), you need the modules
jakarta-james, jakarta-avalon, jakarta-avalon-phoenix,
jakarta-avalon-cornerstone and jakarta-avalon-logkit

Nothing beyond the web jakarta.apache.org/james and email archives.
(Until someone writes some!)
