Basic Usage How do I setup my computer to access an existing CVS repository?

CVS FAQ
Find out where your CVS repository is (ie, on what server, in what directory). In the case of PRISM, it's on cvs-oa.orl.lmco.com (ie orlsr007464), in /usr/local/cvsroot. C:\> ping cvs-oa If you can't ping the CVS server, you're probably not on the unclassified Lockheed network, and shouldn't be attempting this procedure. find out your username and hostname on your client machine. Under Cygwin, your username should be the same as your NT login name.

How do I access a CVS repository using SSH?

CVS FAQ - Ximbiot - CVS Wiki
Using SSH as a connection method to a CVS repository is exactly like using RSH. See the "Remote Repository" section of the Cederqvist. Note that SSH must be set up properly to connect without asking for a password and may break if you have login scripts which generate text when they run. Failing this, you COULD possibly set up an SSH tunnel for a CVS pserver connection but this is fraught with complications. I mention this only because some people seem to like to try anyhow.

Q13: How do I import a module into the cvs repository?

CDCVS FAQ
A13: Sit inside the top directory of the module, then issue the command: cvs import modulename vendor_tag release_tag Where: release_tag is something to denote this initial import, possibly "initial". Note that vendor_tag and release_tag are only used later to check out a copy of the initially imported module, even after many changes have been checked in. For this reason, the exact value of these fields is often not important. However, they must not be the same and must start with a letter.

JBIWiki: FAQ
The maintenance branch (openesb_maint1) contains the contents of the JBI Software Development Kit (SDK) which was delivered just after the JSR 208 specification was finalized. This branch contains the original RI (with some maintenance added after the Spec. was approved), the samples, build, and test scripts. The Main branch (MAIN) contains the Open ESB project. This project includes many extensions to the original SDK and provides ESB capabilities, bindings, engines, and build scripts.

I don't have update access to the CVS repository. Can I still check out a project with Eclipse?

CVS FAQ - Eclipsepedia
In some circumstances, depending on permissions on the server, you may not be able to browse the repository in the CVS Repositories view. In this case, it may still be possible to check out the project you want. The project in your workspace is now shared with the CVS repository, and contains the remote contents.

How do I branch a branch of a cvs repository?

PAPI
Usually, branches or tags are added to the main trunk of a cvs repository. Occasionally it is desirable to add a branch to an existing branch. Here's how to do it: Where <oldtag> is the name of the existing branch, <newtag> is the name of the new branch, and <module> is typically 'papi'. It is very important that you set the environment variable AIXTHREAD_SCOPE to "S", which disables user level threads. This substrate works on all platforms.

When will we have a CVS repository for HiveMind Utilities?

HiveMind Utilities - FAQ
I have made an attempt of setting up a CVS on SourceForge and it failed (because of me, not SF). I think I will try a new attempt in the future. However, now SF also supports Subversion, it will be worth investigating this path for HiveMind Utilities (considering future refactoring it will be a better solution than CVS).

How do I remove a branch or a tag from a cvs repository?

PAPI
This is not something that needs to happen very often, and because of that, it's easy to forget how. We've done it often enough to want to record what we've learned. The cedarqvist manual describes the procedure, but it isn't completely clear. Here's what you do: where <tag> or <branch> is the name of the label you want to remove, and <module> is usually 'papi'. CAUTION: Removing tags is risky, but removing branches is downright dangerous.

Is it posssible to set up CVS repository mirrors?

CVS FAQ - Ximbiot - CVS Wiki
CVS was designed and first implemented over 20 years ago, for the type of networks that existed 20 years ago. Networks today (even slow ones) are much better, so mirrored repositories are generally not required to solve performance problems. Mirrored repositories are used to: Often people look for a mirror solution when the problem exists elsewhere, see this thread for more information (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-cvs/2006-10/msg00090.

How do I backup and restore complete CVS repository?

CVS FAQ - Ximbiot - CVS Wiki
How do I extract the change history on a branch? Option 1. In our project we have similar setup and also had the desire to see a "change history" just on a branch boundary. Therfore we used the cvs diff like follows: cvs -q diff --brief -r branch1_start -r branch1_end | grep -i "^index" This script analyzes the output of the cvs rlog and filters out the changes made in a specified period. Option 2. Run the following script.

How can I convert separate projects in my CVS repository into a single Subversion repository?

cvs2svn FAQ
cvs2svn supports multiproject conversions, but you have to use the options file method to start the conversion. In your options file, you simply call run_options.add_project() once for each sub-project in your repository. For example, if your CVS repository has the layout: /project_a /project_b and you want your Subversion repository to be laid out like this: project_a/ trunk/ ... branches/ ... tags/ ... project_b/ trunk/ ... branches/ ... tags/ ..

How compatible is Apache with my existing NCSA 1.3 setup?

Apache Server Frequently Asked Questions
Apache attempts to offer all the features and configuration options of NCSA httpd 1.3, as well as many of the additional features found in NCSA httpd 1.4 and NCSA httpd 1.5. NCSA httpd appears to be moving toward adding experimental features which are not generally required at the moment. Some of the experiments will succeed while others will inevitably be dropped. The Apache philosophy is to add what's needed as and when it is needed.

Every time I try to access my repository, the process just hangs. Is my repository corrupt?

subversion: Subversion FAQ
Your repository is not corrupt, nor is your data lost. If your process accesses the repository directly (mod_dav_svn, svnlook, svnadmin, or if you access a 'file://' URL), then it's using Berkeley DB to access your data. Berkeley DB is a journaling system, meaning that it logs everything it is about to do before it does so. If your process is interrupted (Control-C, or segfault), then a lockfile is left behind, along with a logfile describing unfinished business.
