[eml-dev] EML-2.1.0 Release Candidate-1

[Margaret O'Brien]

Hi -
Some folks needed to checkout the release using anonymous checkout.. 
Here is a link to the instructions - see under the heading "Read-only 
anonymous CVS access" for the pswd
http://www.kepler-project.org/Wiki.jsp?page=DevelopmentForKepler

For me, this worked:
cvs -d anonymous at cvs.ecoinformatics.org:/cvs checkout eml
