Overview
Concurrent Versions System or cvs as it's typically called is used for keepping track of changes to text files, like scripts and source code.
cydonia has a cvs repository in /var/cvs
viewvc.cgi is a great cgi front end.
cvs uses the enviroment variable CVSROOT by default to detemrine where the file repository is kept. local to cydonia you wuld do this:
export CVSROOT=/var/cvs
if you would like to work with cvs over the netowrk check out the ssh section below.
cvs configuration
You can put your own cvs config in ~/.cvsrc. I find this config handy:
# always use the -N (show added or removed files) and -u (unified diff format) options to diff(1). diff -Nu # always use the -P (prune empty directories) and -d (check out new directories) options when updating. update -Pd # always use the -P (prune empty directories) option when checking out. checkout -P
Shamelessly Borrowed from:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/committers-guide/cvs.operations.html
cvs template
CVS commit templates can be created to capture additional useful information.
Reason: Reference: Reviewed by: CVS: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CVS: Reason: CVS: A discription of the change CVS: Reference: CVS: ticketnumber, bugzilla id etc CVS: Reviwed by: CVS: peer reviewer
This was done by checking out CVSROOT and modifying rcsinfo, rcstemplate, and checkoutlist.
- rcsinfo was modified by adding the following line. Commenting out this line will also disable the template.
ALL $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/rcstemplate
- rcstemplate is a text file which contains the template, which is now part of the CVSROOT repository.
- checkoutlist
Keywords
You can drop keywords in to cvs control files and they will be dynamically update.
so for example
# $Id$
will be expanded when checking out
# $Id: mkbb.pl,v 1.15 2002/10/30 16:38:02 user Exp $
This is: the file, the version , the date , the author, the state.

# $Author$ # $Date$ # $Header$ # $Id$ # $Name$ # $Revision$ # $State$
cvs over ssh
export CVS_RSH="/usr/local/bin/ssh" export CVSROOT=":ext:username@cvsserver:/var/cvs"
