Subject: How do I automate cvs?

Hi

I would like to automate my checkouts for the latest ruby.
Is there are way to do this using the net libraries?

Right now I am using system calls and, of course, I can't
get around the anonymous login requirement without manual
intervention.

My simple hack is below:


 t = Time.now
 path = sprintf("ruby_%d%02d%02d", t.year, t.month, t.day)
 Dir.mkdir(path) unless File.exists?(path)
 Dir.chdir(path)
 puts Dir.pwd
 root = ":pserver:anonymous@cvs.ruby-lang.org:"
 cmd = "cvs -d #{root}/src login"
 puts cmd
 system(cmd)

 #(Logging in to anonymous@cvs.ruby-lang.org)
 #CVS password:  (anonymous)
 cmd = "cvs -z4 -d #{root}/src co ruby"
 puts cmd
 system(cmd)
 cmd = "cvs -z4 -d #{root}/src co rubicon"
 puts cmd
 system(cmd)


Thanks
