CVS Support
See Also
The IDE provides two options for working with the
Concurrent Versioning System (CVS):
- Through the built-in CVS client module. This module is
a CVS client written
in the JavaTM programming language that
provides a direct
protocol
connection to CVS repositories, thus enabling you to connect to a
CVS repository without having a separate CVS
executable installed on your system.
This module supports only
password server (pserver) connections
and does not support the edit, watch, or lock commands.
- Through the CVS profile in the generic VCS module.
The IDE contains a profile of CVS commands and variables that
enables the IDE to interact
with the CVS command-line executable. The CVS command-line executable
must be installed on your system to use
this module.
The CVS command-line executable is available for no charge from the GNU web
site at http://www.gnu.org and other sites.
Some operating systems, such
as Microsoft Windows 98, require additional software to use the CVS command-line
executable. See VCS Support on Windows 95, Windows 98, and
Windows ME for more information.
To work with CVS in the IDE, you must mount a CVS working directory as a
filesystem in the IDE. See
Mounting a CVS Filesystem for more
information.
CVS documentation is available from
http://www.gnu.org/manual/cvs-1.9/html_chapter/cvs_toc.html.
