29 <h2>i-scream CVS Repository</h2>
30
31 <p>The i-scream CVS Repository contains all code,
32 documentation, and other files pertaining to all i-scream projects.</p>
33
34 <h3>Web Access</h3>
35
36 <p>We use <a href="http://viewcvs.sourceforge.net/">viewcvs</a> to provide a
37 visual frontend to the CVS Repository. It allows you to browse around the
38 repository, viewing any version of a file, and the differences between different
39 versions. There is also a link to download the latest version of any section.</p>

51 <h3>Anonymous CVS Access (read-only)</h3>
52
53 <p>Anyone can access the i-scream CVS repository in
54 anonymous mode read-only mode. The following commands will allow you to check
55 out a portion of the CVS repository. To see what is available it is recommended
56 that you first look at the web frontend.</p>
57 </font>
58
59 <pre>cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.i-scream.org.uk:/cvs/i-scream login
60 cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.i-scream.org.uk:/cvs/i-scream checkout [module]</pre>
61
62 <font face="Arial" size="2">
63 <p>When asked for a password, simply press enter.
64 Replace [module] with the section you wish to checkout.</p>
65
66 <h3>Developer CVS Access (write)</h3>
67
68 <p>The i-scream development team have full write
69 access to the CVS repository. This is only available over SSH, and can be done
70 on most clients. First the following environment variables need to be set.</p>
71 </font>
72
73 <pre>CVS_RSH = ssh
74 CVSROOT = :ext:username@cvs.i-scream.org.uk:/cvs/i-scream</pre>
75
76 <font face="Arial" size="2">
77 <p>You should know your username and password
78 already. After setting these you will need to enter your password each time you
79 use a CVS command. Obviously this is a time wasting event, so an RSA key can be
80 generated and placed on the server for you. Please view the relevant ssh
81 manpages on how to generate an RSA key pair.</p>
82
83 <p>After this you will be able to work with CVS as
84 normal.</p>
85
86 <h3>Other means of accessing CVS</h3>
87
88 <p>We currently provide <a href="http://www.polstra.com/projects/freeware/CVSup/"> CVSup</a> access to the repository, either for mirroring or
89 for maintaining an up-to-date local copy. You will probably want to create a
90 supfile that looks something like this;</p>
91 </font>
92
93 <pre>*default host=cvsup.i-scream.org.uk
94 *default base=/home/user/sup
95 *default prefix=/home/user/i-scream
96 *default release=cvs
97 *default delete use-rel-suffix
98 *default compress
99 i-scream.source tag=.</pre>
100
101 <font face="Arial" size="2">
102 <p>The last item in that list is the collection you which to get. The collection
103 &quot;i-scream&quot; is simply the whole repository, and is best used with no
104 tag specified for mirroring. It is most likely that you will want to do that
105 given above, which gets the latest copy of the i-scream source code.</p>
106
107 <h3>CVS Statistics</h3>
108
109 <p>There are some statistics available on the cms module of the CVS
110 repository, generated by <a href="http://cvsstat.sourceforge.net/">cvsstat</a>,
111 that allow you to see the progress of development. They're not that exciting,
112 but do show when the work was done.</p>
