<h2><a name="25"></a>3.5. What is CVS and how do I use it?<a name="WhatIsCVS"></a></h2>
|
|
<p>Before proceeding you should probably have a good read of the <a href="http://www.cvshome.org/docs/blandy.html">introduction to CVS by Jim Blandy</a>. Reading this document should save you a lot of confusion later
|
|
on.</p>
|
|
<p>To use the CVS server you first need to get a copy of the CVS client
|
|
software for your operating system:</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Microsoft Windows
|
|
<p>See <a href="http://www.cyclic.com/cvs/windows.html">http://www.cyclic.com/cvs/windows.html</a> for more details.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>DOS 16bit/32bit
|
|
<p>See the DOS section at <a href="http://www.cyclic.com/cvs/other.html">http://www.cyclic.com/cvs/other.html</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>GNU/Linux
|
|
<p>Many GNU/Linux distributions come with the cvs client packaged as part of
|
|
the distribution. If you don't have it installed check your install CDs or
|
|
check the ftp site for the distribution in question.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>OS/2
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a href="http://www.cyclic.com/cvs/os2.html">http://www.cyclic.com/cvs/os2.html</a></li>
|
|
<li><a href="ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/os/os2/leo/gnu/devtools/cvs110.zip">ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/os/os2/leo/gnu/devtools/cvs110.zip</a></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Macintosh
|
|
<p>See <a href="http://www.cyclic.com/cvs/mac.html">http://www.cyclic.com/cvs/mac.html</a> for more details.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Other
|
|
<p>If you are building Harbour with an operating system not listed then please
|
|
contact the FAQ maintainer with full details so that this list can be
|
|
updated.</p>
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Once you have got your CVS client installed you can gain anonymous access to
|
|
the Harbour CVS server. Depending on platform, the first thing you need to
|
|
do is set the <code>CVSROOT</code> environment variable to:</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<blockquote><code>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/harbour-project
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</code></blockquote>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>In addition to the above some environments might require extra information.
|
|
For example, the DOS, Windows and OS/2 CVS clients need to be given two
|
|
extra environment variables, <code>HOMEDRIVE</code> and <code>HOMEPATH</code>. These two
|
|
environment variables tell the CVS client where the source will live
|
|
locally. For example, if your Harbour development directory is at
|
|
S:\FREESOFT\HARBOUR you'd set:</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<blockquote><code>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
SET HOMEDRIVE=S
|
|
SET HOMEPATH=\FREESOFT\HARBOUR\
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</code></blockquote>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Users of the Windows client have reported that the <code>HOMEPATH</code> environment
|
|
variable must start with and finish with a directory separator. Users of the
|
|
DOS client have reported that the <code>HOMEDRIVE</code> environment variable must
|
|
end with a colon.</p>
|
|
<p>Ensure that your harbour directory is created and change into it. Then run:</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<blockquote><code>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
cvs login
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</code></blockquote>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>and press enter when prompted for a password. Now run:</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<blockquote><code>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
cvs extract -P harbour
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</code></blockquote>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>to get a copy of the Harbour CVS repository (users of the DOS client have
|
|
reported that it doesn't have the <code>extract</code> command and that the
|
|
<code>checkout</code> command should be used instead, I'm also told that the cvs
|
|
client on GNU/Linux requires that you use <code>checkout</code>).</p>
|
|
<p><b>Note</b>: The CVS commands and directories are case sensitive: <code>harbour</code>
|
|
must be in all lower case (also note that on <a href="http://www.sourceforge.net/">SourceForge</a> Harbour is known as
|
|
"harbour-project").</p>
|
|
<p>Later, when you want to get changes from the CVS, you can do one of two
|
|
things:</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Repeat the <code>extract</code> command from your Harbour directory.</li>
|
|
<li>From your Harbour directory run '<code>cvs update</code>'.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>If you have problems after reading the above please consider reading the
|
|
<a href="http://www.cvshome.org/docs/blandy.html">CVS introduction</a> and also the documentation for the CVS client you've
|
|
installed. If, after reading both those documents, you are still having
|
|
problems you should drop a polite message into the
|
|
<a href="harbour35.html#DevMailList">developer's mailing list</a> detailing your platform, environment, all
|
|
the steps you performed and the exact nature of the problem.</p>
