[ensembl-dev] Plant API download?

[simon andrews (BI)]

I've been trying to download the core plant API bundle using the link on the website at:

http://plants.ensembl.org/info/docs/api/api_installation.html

Which points to:

http://cvs.sanger.ac.uk/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/ensembl.tar.gz?root=ensembl&only_with_tag=branch-ensemblgenomes-12-65&view=tar

..but I'm only getting a tiny file returned (29 bytes).

I tried pulling the files directly out of CVS using:

cvs -d :pserver:cvsuser at cvs.sanger.ac.uk:/cvsroot/ensembl checkout -r branch-ensemblgenomes-12-65 ensembl

but although I get a load of messages saying:

cvs checkout: Updating ensembl
cvs checkout: Updating ensembl/Apache
cvs checkout: Updating ensembl/Apache/EnsEMBL
cvs checkout: Updating ensembl/cgi-bin
cvs checkout: Updating ensembl/corba
cvs checkout: Updating ensembl/corba/artemis
cvs checkout: Updating ensembl/corba/popt
cvs checkout: Updating ensembl/corba/popt/po
cvs checkout: Updating ensembl/corba/seq
cvs checkout: Updating ensembl/corba/simpleobjectman
cvs checkout: Updating ensembl/docs

I don't actually get anything written to my local directory.  I also see a warning saying:

cvs checkout: warning: cannot open history file `/cvsroot/ensembl/CVSROOT/history' for write: Permission denied

..which may or may not be relevant.

Any clues?

Cheers

Simon.
