What is CVS? Where can I get CVS? How do I install CVS? ![]() ![]() ![]() What is CVS?The Concurrent Versions System (CVS) provides network-transparent source control for groups of developers. CVS has four basic functions: All the OpenEJB source code, documentation, and other files are in a CVS repository on a server at SourceForge. To access the repository and download the source code and other files, you need a cvs client. Where can I get CVS? If you are on a Linux machine, you most likely already have cvs. To find out if cvs is intalled, type the following command at a prompt: If you are one a Windows machine, you will need to download the CVS command-line client for Windows. The CVS command line client is available on many operating systems. Choose the CVS client that's right for your OS at the official CVS download page. How do I install CVS?There is no "Install Shield" for cvs. You just put the cvs executable in any directory and then include that directory in your PATH system variable. Then you can execute cvs commands from anywhere in your command shell. Set the PATH variable To set the PATH variable on a Windows machine, execute the following command in a command prompt. Set the CVSROOT variableTo execute cvs commands against a CVS repository, you must tell cvs where the repository is by setting its location in a CVSROOT evironment variable, or by specifying it in your command with the cvs -d option. To set the CVSROOT variable on a Windows machine so that it points toward the OpenEJB cvs at SourceForge, execute the following command in a command prompt. Set the HOME variable The first time you access a particular CVS repository, you must first login to the server hosting the repository. You can do this with the 'cvs login' command, but before doing this you need to set another environment variable. CVS needs to know where to put your login information, for this you must set the HOME environment variable on your OS or in your shell. To set the HOME variable on a Windows machine, execute the following command in a command prompt. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
