Previous: HOW-TO use CVS
- Set your CVSROOT environment variable to whatever is appropriate, e.g.
to the GSyC Master repository which is in
nautilus.gsyc.inf.uc3m.es:/usr/local/share/GSyC-SRC-Master:
nautilus$ export CVSROOT=nautilus:/usr/local/share/GSyC-SRC-Master
- set your umask so write permission is granted to the group. The whole
repository belongs to the group profes.
nautilus$ umask 002
- set up your path so you could use CVS (this step is not needed
for Linux). It's usually installed in
/usr/local/install/cvs/
nautilus$ export PATH=/usr/local/install/cvs/bin:$PATH
nautilus$ export MANPATH=/usr/local/install/cvs/man:$MANPATH
- Set up your CVSEDITOR variable. CVS will use it to help you editing the
logs. If you use emacs you can take advantage of the emacsclient
program which makes your emacs edit whatever is given to it. Try this:
nautilus$ export CVSEDITOR=emacsclient
and in the emacs editor...
M-x server-start
At this point you're ready to run CVS!
