See here: http://sourceware.org/glibc/
Basically you need to login once (using password "anoncvs"):
cvs -z 9 -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/glibc login
Then you can do:
cvs -z 9 -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/glibc co -A -P -r $TAGNAME libc
setting $TAGNAME to e.g. "glibc-2_8", "glibc-2_9" to retrieve 2.8 or 2.9.
Note the glibc ports (e.g. arm support etc) need to be retrieved
separately, using the same tag names:
cd libc
cvs -z 9 -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/glibc co -A -P -r $TAGNAME ports
Also note there's a "glibc-2_8" and "glibc-2_8-branch" tag. The former
is the release version, while the latter is a sort of "maintenance"
branch. You generally want the latter, but this is a moving target.
For example, at the moment there are a few small fixes against the
release.
The same goes for "glibc-2_9" and "glibc-2_9-branch".
