XviD CVS help (for me)

[Nightweaver]

Hey folks.

I was just wondering about what's happening in CVS, cos I'm running Linux here and like to compile XviD quite frequently myself, even though I don't do anything with the result - I've only about 100mb or so free hard disk space (not to mention a P2/233 and 64MB ram), so that's not really feasible for me yet - I just like seeing things work (in this case, compile)

... Anyway, I'm asking because I haven't noticed any updates in a while, even though they're obviously happening from the announcements in this channel virtually daily. Are my options screwed, or what aren't I doing right? Just a plain old anonymous checkout is all i want.

Any help is appreciated, as is the work you've done on this wonderful codec - my other computer attests to that ;)

Hm that sounds odd.. the vfw tree changes more often than the core (for example, all the 2-pass stuff is in vfw), so that might be why you aren't seeing any core changes after announcements in this forum.

However quite a bit's been happening in core lately - alignment issues, new CBR engine, etc. I'm planning to add interlacing tonight, though I have to rewrite some of the decoding loops, and that's a pain.

How are you performing the checkout?

Umm ... in my home directory I've got a cvs, in that I've got gaim (great IM program) and xvid ... the xvid one contains all the directories there are in cvs - core, encore, encore2, etc ... all the way down to vfw. i've got a little shell script that goes in and updates them all, but recently I've seen nothing other than the directory names listed when I do the updates.

I just do 'cvs update' too (that's what the shell script runs in each directory), but my .cvsrc has "update -PAd" in it ... it was all working up till some time in the last 2 weeks - I didn't really notice when. Sorry about the formatting, I'm hopeless when it comes to breaking up large chunks of text, so they're always an afterthought.

Ohhh.

All CVS development has moved to the xvid tree (I assume you're in the opendivx one at the moment). There are now only 3 branches in the xvid tree - xvidcore, vfw and dshow. That's where all the work has been going on.

That would probably explain a lot :p

Well thanks ... I'll meander over and figure out how to get going on the new tree. I had a funny idea if I took a look at videocoding.de it'd all be clear, but I couldn't be bothered. Ah well. Thanks.

(Edit: ) -- whoops. : next to ) makes a smiley.

Yep, it worked. All good now. Hooray, hurrah, and all the rest. Compiles cleanly, too. Thankye folks (well, H). I can go back to lurking now.
