I’m using drush, which supposedly can be used instead of a cvs program to checkout from the drupal repository.

All tutorials I’ve found don’t mention drush, instead they start with cvs.

cvs -z6 -d:pserver:anonymous:anonymous@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal checkout -d cms -r DRUPAL-6 drupal

  • How do I change this command so it’s compatible with drush?
  • and do I still need a CVS software? Since I’m not checking out with CVS, I’m guessing I don’t anymore. I’d rather not install a CVS program on my windows machine since I don’t use it version control.

    You cannot make a CVS checkout with drush, IIRC. But what you can do, is that you can download a tagged version with drush that is otherwise not available. So you can use drush do download a specific version of a module.

    CVS is only needed if you want to contribute patches back to the module.
