You also may need to set the environment variable `CVS_RSH` to `ssh`. On modern versions of CVS, the `:ext:` is optional; if your username is the same as your login on the host machine, you may also eliminate `username@`. - - -## CVSWeb - -You can also browse CVS with [[ViewCVS|http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/xorg/]]. - - -## CVS documentation - -A comprehensive open documentation on CVS is Per Cederquist's [[manual|http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/]]. Chances are that you have it installed on your system as GNU info page. Simply do -[[!format txt """ - info cvs -"""]] -to read it. If this manual is too brief for you you may want to check Karl Fogel's book which is also available [[on line|http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/]]. - - -## What you should do when you commit code - -Before committing code to CVS you should update the `ChangeLog` file in the root directory to reflect the changes you have made. - - * Merge in changes that have taken place after you have updated your checked out version of the tree. - -[[!format txt """ - cvs update -dP -"""]] - * Run the Perl script [[prepare-ChangeLog.pl|http://xorg.freedesktop.org/scripts/prepare-ChangeLog.pl]] in the root directory of the project. This will obtain a list of files that have changed and add it to the top of the ChangeLog file. It will also add a time stamp and your email address (if set properly). - * Edit `ChangeLog`: - * If somebody reviewed your patches and his name and email address. - * If you are committing a huge number of files (i.e. when you merge code between branches) you may delete the list of files you are committing. - * Add a description of the changes you have made. If there is a bugzilla entry for the code you are committing add the ID. - * Check if any other ChangeLog entries in the tree have been touched (accidentally) by `prepare-ChangeLog.pl`. In some cases drivers have their own ChangeLogs. Also 'foreign' projects stored in the `extras/` directory may have ChangeLog files. While you may describe changes to drivers in their respective files you should never add anything to ChangeLog files under `extras/`. Please remove those changes before you commit and move the list of changed files to the to ChangeLog file. - * When you are done editing `ChangeLog` you may start the commit. - -[[!format txt """ - cvs commit -"""]] -CVS will start an editor for you so that you can add an entry to the CVS log. It is a good idea to copy the text that you have added to the `ChangeLog` file here. +All current code repositories have moved to [[git|GitPage]]. |
