1. Configuring CVS

• Creating new repository:

  cvs -d /usr/local/newrepos init

  Where /usr/local/newrepos is the root directory of the repository.

  setenv CVSROOT /usr/local/newrepos

  This command updates CVSROOT global variable.

   

  Starting new project:

  1. Goto your new project directory

  #cd      /usr/project/new_project

  (/usr/project/new_project)# ls

  main.c wrap.c socks.c 01/ 02/

  (/usr/project/new_project)#

  2. Issue

  (/usr/project/new_project)# cvs import -m "log msg" project_name vendor version

  ................

  No conflicts created by this import

   

  The -m flag (for message) is for specifying a short message describing the import.

  (/usr/project/new_project)# cvs import -m "initial import into CVS" project_name vendor version

  No conflicts created by this import

   

  3. So finally new project is ready for checking out.
