I'm looking to try out the new 4.6 release and wonder if you could help me in getting it. I'm just starting a fresh site and it would be good to start with 4.6.

Mambo 4.6 is not yet available for download. However, the unfinished development copy is available via CVS. If your are a Windows user, the easiest way to get a CVS copy of MOS 4.6 is to download TortoiseCVS from tortoisecvs.org. There is also a Mac utiltity, MacCVS from maccvs.org, but I am not a Mac user so I can't offer input on that.

The settings for TortoiseCVS are:
Protocol: password server (pserver)
Server: cvs.sourceforge.net
Port: 2401
Repository folder: /cvsroot/mambo
Username: anonymous
Module: MamboOS

To download the 4.6 CVS, right-click in any folder and choose CVS Checkout. Enter the settings above, and click OK. A folder named MamboOS will be created containing Mambo 4.6.

Please remember, this is a development copy and not yet ready for release. In other words, the software is not finished. It may contain bugs, features that aren't yet implemented, or features not yet complete. Do not install it on a production server. Use it only for testing and to explore features.

The first beta release of 4.6 is scheduled to come out sometime this month. As a beta release, it may also contain bugs. It should not be used on a production server. Only releases announced as stable should be used on a production server.

I just checked the for the 4.6 CVS through IE. There is no /cvsroot. Have you placed it somewhere else? Or can I get it somewhere else?
Thanks

4.6 is in MamboOS. I've been updating from CVS 3-4 times a day with no problems.

Can you tell me the route to the root? I have tried Cute to get in, but guess I don't have all of the info right. The password is what was messing me up. I think.
Thanks

From the Password Server select list, you need to make sure that 'pserver' is selected.

If you're using TortoiseCVS, Al Warren's settings (above) should work fine. Mine are identical.

You can get TortoiseCVS from here. I thought I could just get to the files with IE. I also tried Cute FTP with no luck.
