hi
down load the the required cvs version from cvshome.org either as a tarball or rpm,
if its a rpm use
rpm -ivh cvs*.rpm
then it will install the required files in your system
try cvs from the prompt it will give you the usage style
If you want to use it for some product the first create the repository (say e.g
product)
# mkdir -P /product/CVSROOT (Considering that u want it in the root
"/" directory or u can create it anywhere u want i have taken it as
say "/" )
#chmod -R 775 /product
#chown cvs.cvs -R /product changing the ownership to
cvs users
Now go to your source directory say Product1 & import them to cvs repository for this
case it is /product.
# cd /Product1
#cvs -d /product import -m "New Repository for Product" Product1/. vendor_tag start_tag
where vendor & start_tag is any tag you want to give , -m is for the comment to be
given in the " "
Product1/. mean all the file under this directory to the repository /product
# chmod -R 775 /product
# chown cvs.cvs -R /product
thats all
then access it from anywhere using cvs checkout command along with the option.
there is a good frontend for cvs called wincvs to be used from win98 or nt
Hope this will help you
