The official repository is [https://github.com/acl-org/ACLPUB hosted on Github].
−
----

The aclpub package and documentation were built in 2005 by
 
−
Jason Eisner and Philipp Koehn, based in part on scripts by David
 
−
Yarowsky that had been used for several years previously.

Use the "cvs log" command to see what changes have been made since then.

ANONYMOUS CHECKOUT

Anyone can check out the latest version anonymously as follows:

cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@ftp.clsp.jhu.edu:/aclpub checkout aclpub

MAINTAINING THE CODE, DOCUMENTATION, TEMPLATES, AND STYLE FILES
 
−
----
 
−
Publication chairs and other interested users are expected to improve

the aclpub package for themselves and future users. 
 
−
 
 
−
Simply modify your own checked-out copy of the package, and commit
 
−
those changes back into the CVS repository as appropriate.
 
−
 
 
−
To do this, you must obtain a username and password by emailing
 
−
Jason Eisner <jason at cs dot jhu dot edu>
 
−
and including "aclpub" in the subject line. 
 
−
 
 
−
Then specify your password once via
 
−
cvs -d :pserver:USERNAME@ftp.clsp.jhu.edu:/aclpub login
 
−
This will record password information in ~/.cvspass.
 
−
 
 
−
Thereafter, you can run commands that interact with the repository via
 
−
cvs -d :pserver:USERNAME@ftp.clsp.jhu.edu:/aclpub <command>
 
−
where <command> is something like "checkout", "update", "commit", or "help".
 
−
 
 
−
NOTE:
 
−
 
 
−
If you want to simplify the above to
 
−
cvs <command>
 
−
then just set an environment variable in your shell startup file:
 
−
export CVSROOT=:pserver:USERNAME@ftp.clsp.jhu.edu:/aclpub
 
−
Alternatively, you could simplify to
 
−
aclcvs <command>
 
−
by defining a shell alias:
 
−
alias aclcvs='cvs -d :pserver:eisner@ftp.clsp.jhu.edu:/aclpub'
 
−
 
 
−
We would have preferred to use Subversion instead of CVS, but on many
 
−
systems only CVS is installed by default.  We could switch over in future.
