My question is about where to find the cvs version of amarok?

What should I type to download the cvs tree? I searched the kde.org, but found nothing about that.

thanks in advance..

Here's a guide to using Cervisia for CVS http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=6096
amaroK is found in the kdeextragear-1 module. Cervcisia is nice because it can embed itself into konqueror, it's easy as pie.

since i like to encourage everyone to try out amarok-cvs and it's one of the faq's, here's a short cvs-"tutorial":

create some new dir on your hdd, like "kde-cvs":
$ mkdir kde-cvs
$ cd kde-cvs

we put all the source-stuff in here, let's grab them:
$ export CVSROOT=":pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.kde.org:/home/kde"
$ cvs -z4 co kde-common/admin
$ cvs -z4 co -l kdeextragear-1
$ cvs -z4 co kdeextragear-1/amarok
$ cd kdeextragear-1
$ ln -s ../kde-common/admin

let's compile it!
$ make -f Makefile.cvs
$ ./configure --prefix=`kde-config --prefix`
$ make
$ su -c make install

have fun!

Cool, we should add this answer to the Handbook FAQ.

..thinking about it, we should also put some direct link to the FAQ on the site, since it's a bit hidden in the Handbook, I reckon..

yeah, having that in the handbook plus having some direkt link to the faq section of the handbook would rock.

btw: we should automate the handbook publication with a cron script...

I've updated the handbook to include the mini tutorial. I've also updated the online handbook, you'll find it in the FAQ at http://62.26.19.27/amarok/component/opt ... l#id241067
