How do I get from cvs the files need for an ACS build?

Problem

In order to build ACS from sources, it is not necessary to do a svn checkout of the whole ACS tree.

This tree contains also all external products and documentation that are not needed for the build.

What you should rather do to checkout the NO-LGPL files is:

   svn co <svntag> ACS/Makefile --depth files
   cd ACS
   make svn-get-no-lgpl

To checkout only LGPL files use instead:

   make svn-get-lgpl

This calls a Makefile target that, based on the tag used to checkout ACS/Makefile, checks out all what you need to build ACS.

This is much faster.
