If you add just 'boost', you will retrieve complete boost tree. If you need
only `ublas', you can write:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous_at_[hidden]:/cvsroot/boost
checkout -r matrix_development boost/boost/numeric/ublas
to get headers, and
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous_at_[hidden]:/cvsroot/boost
checkout -r matrix_development boost/libs/numeric/ublas
to get docs and tests.
Also, if you have `gzip', you can speed up transfer by adding `-z9':
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous_at_[hidden]:/cvsroot/boost
-z9 checkout -r matrix_development boost/boost/numeric/ublas
Quoted from `cvs' man page:
-z compression-level
When transferring files across the network use gzip
with compression level `compression-level' to com-
press and de-compress data as it is transferred.
Requires the presence of the GNU gzip program in
the current search path at both ends of the link.
Sincerely,
fres
