5: # What is CVS
6:
7: CVS is an abbreviation for Concurrent Versions System.
8:
9: # Requirements
10:
11: Nothing. CVS comes with the NetBSD base installation.
12:
13: # Setting up the repository
14:
15: First decide where you want to store all cvs repositories. Let's take /usr/cvsrepositories
16:
17: # mkdir /usr/cvsrepositories
18:
19:
20: Now you can create directories for different projects.
21:
22: # cd /usr/cvsrepositories
23: # mkdir mycompany
24: # mkdir myprivatestuff
25:
26:
27: This projects must have chmod 770 to separate them from each other.
28:
29: # chmod 770 mycompany
30: # chmod 770 myprivatestuff
31:
32:
33: # Creating user groups
34:
35: You should create a group for projects, where people are working together.
36:
37: # group add mycompanyname
38:
39:
40: You should now assign this group to the project directory they belong.
41:
42: # cd /usr/cvsrepositories
43: # chgrp mycompanyname mycompany/
44:
45:
46: # cvs init
47:
48: Before you can either checkout or import anything, you have to init your projects root directory. To keep the path short for the CVSROOT environment variable, I recommend using symlinks to the repository from the root /.
49:
50: # cd /
51: # ln -s /usr/cvsrepositories/mycompany mycompany
52:
53:
54: Now create the cvs repository using
55:
56: # cvs -d /mycompany/ init
57:
58:
59: # Creating users
60:
61: Now create users that are allowed to check out from your repository. Keep company workers in the group you have created before.
62:
63: # useradd -G mycompanyname -m john
64:
65:
66: And set a password for the user john
67:
68: # passwd john
69:
70:
71: It's your decision if you want to grant the users shell access or not.
72:
73: # Setting environment variables
74:
75: Please set the environment variables CVSROOT and CVS_RSH. Bash or ksh users please use export.
76:
77: # export CVSROOT=username@yourserver.com:/mycompany
78: # export CVS_RSH=ssh
79:
80:
81: csh users set it like this:
82:
83: # setenv CVSROOT username@yourserver.com:/mycompany
84: # setenv CVS_RSH ssh
85:
86:
87: As you can see we use ssh as the transport protocol. This is recommended. Keep your transfers encrypted.
88:
89: # Initial check in
90:
91: You should now proceed with the the initial check in of your (code)work. You can do this from another server aswell. Don't forget to set the environment variables there too.
92:
93: Now please change into the directory you wish to import initially.
94:
95: # cd myproject
96:
97:
98: and import it to your cvs server.
99:
100: # cvs import -m "myproject initial import" myproject myproject initial
101:
102:
103: this should produce an output like this:
104:
105:
106: N myproject/test.c
107: N myproject/test.h
108: N myproject/mi/mi.h
109: N myproject/md/md.h
110:
111: No conflicts created by this import
112:
113:
114: # checkout
115:
116: To checkout the work, set your environment variables and enter
117:
118: # cvs co -PA myproject
119:
120:
121: This will checkout myproject.
122:
123: # ssh config
124:
125: Please configure your ssh client to fit your need in .ssh/config, like using a different ssh port than 22.
126:
