+ i-scream CVS Repository +
++ The i-scream CVS Repository contains code, + documentation, and other files pertaining to all i-scream + projects. +
++ All new code with be found in our + Git repositories. +
++ All code available in the CVS Repository is + licensed under the GPL unless + otherwise stated. +
++ Web Access +
++ We use viewcvs + to provide a visual frontend to the CVS Repository. It + allows you to browse around the repository, viewing any + version of a file, and the differences between different + versions. There is also a link to download the latest + version of any section. +
+ ++ We also have a facility to allow people to keep tabs on + what's changed recently. The following are available: +
+ ++ Anonymous CVS Access (read-only) +
++ Anyone can access the i-scream CVS repository in anonymous + read-only mode. The following commands will allow you + to check out a portion of the CVS repository. To see what + is available it is recommended that you first look at the + web frontend. +
++cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.i-scream.org:/cvs/i-scream login +cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.i-scream.org:/cvs/i-scream checkout [module] ++
+ When asked for a password, simply press enter. Replace + [module] with the section you wish to checkout. +
++ Developer CVS Access (write) +
++ The i-scream development team have full write access to the + CVS repository. This is only available over SSH, and can be + done on most clients. First the following environment + variables need to be set. +
++CVS_RSH = ssh +CVSROOT = :ext:username@cvs.i-scream.org:/cvs/i-scream ++
+ You should know your username and password already. After + setting these you will need to enter your password each + time you use a CVS command. Obviously this is a time + wasting event, so an RSA key can be generated and placed on + the server for you. Please view the relevant ssh manpages + on how to generate an RSA key pair. +
++ After this you will be able to work with CVS as normal. +
++ Other means of accessing CVS +
++ We currently provide CVSup + access to the repository, either for mirroring or for + maintaining an up-to-date local copy. You will probably + want to create a supfile that looks something like this; +
++*default host=cvsup.i-scream.org *default base=/home/user/sup *default prefix=/home/user/i-scream *default release=cvs *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress -i-scream.cms.source tag=.- - -
The last item in that list is the collection you which to get. The collection -"i-scream" is simply the whole repository, and is best used with no -tag specified for mirroring. It is most likely that you will want to do that -given above, which gets the latest copy of the i-scream source code.
- -CVS Statistics
- -There are some statistics available on the cms module of the CVS -repository, generated by cvsplot, -that allow you to see the progress of development. They're not that exciting, -but do show when the work was done.
