HISTORY
 
−
----
 
−
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.
 
−
Please feel free to make further improvements.

−
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.
