=== Preparing your working environment ===

The first thing you should do is make sure you have the {{{cvs}}} package installed. Second, if you have a directory or file named {{{rpm}}} in your home directory, either delete it or move it somewhere else. You don't want it to get in your way in the next step. Now, invoke the following set of commands:

{{{
$ cd
}}}

To make sure your current working directory is your home directory.

{{{
$ mkdir -p rpm/{RPMS,BUILD,SRPMS}
}}}

To create necessary directories.

{{{
$ CVSROOT=:pserver:cvs at cvs.pld-linux.org:/cvsroot \
cvs co SOURCES/.cvsignore SPECS
}}}

NB! Alternative initialization
{{{
$ poldek -u rpm-build-tools
$ builder --init-rpm-dir
}}}

Read more aboout [:DevelopingPLD/BuilderScript: builder] script.

To fetch all the files from the [:Repositories: repository]. If you already have an account there, replace {{{cvs at cvs.pld-linux.org}}} with your account name.

Now you are ready to start your work.
