Two things are wrong. The page shows the example:

<code>
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous:[e-mail]:/cvsroot co mozilla/client.mk
cd mozilla
make -f client.mk checkout MOZ_CO_PROJECT=browser
</code>

First, one must login and this is not shown.

Second, the url for the repository is wrong.

The "anonymous" should only appear once. This should be:

<code>
cvs -d :pserver:[e-mail]:/cvsroot co mozilla/client.mk
cd mozilla
make -f client.mk checkout MOZ_CO_PROJECT=browser
</code>


Reproducible: Always

Ok, I realized something. This is a wiki. I can make the edit myself. Duh! :-)

FWIW, the wiki was not wrong: anonymous:anonymous was a username:password, which is supposed to work in CVSROOT. It happens to not work in MSYS make, which sucks. But since our anonymous CVS server doesn't actually use the password, it doesn't really matter.
