Hello,
I've recently downloaded CVS-1.10.6 on RedHat LINUX.
I've read the README file and am using the INSTALL file to help me with
the installation. This is where I stand:
Step 1) Read the README -- (definitely NOT the hardest step)
Step 2) Set the CVSROOT --
--inside of my /home DIR, I created /src, and in /src I created /master
--inside of /etc/profile, I set CVSROOT=/src/master; export CVSROOT
Step 3) Create the Master Source Repository -- $ cvs init
**Step 4) putting sources/documentation in CVS Control
--This is where the problem resides...
--The directions say to enter the command
$ cvs import -m "test distribution" ccvs CVS_DIST CVS-TEST
-- I watched text fly all over the screen. After about 20mins, I went
ahead
-- and CTRL-C'd the command. I checked out the directory structure and
it
-- looked something like this:
src/
src/master/
src/master/ccvs
src/master/ccvs/ccvs
src/master/ccvs/ccvs/ccvs
src/master/ccvs/ccvs/ccvs/ccvs
src/master/ccvs/ccvs/ccvs/ccvs/ccvs
src/master/ccvs/ccvs/ccvs/ccvs/ccvs/ccvs
.
. [~Gazillion files...]
.
src/master/ccvs/ccvs/ccvs/ccvs/ccvs/ccvs/ccvs/ccvs/ccvs/ccvs/ccvs/ccvs/
ccvs/ccvs/ccvs/ccvs/ccvs/ccvs
.
. [~Gazillion files...]
.
src/master/ccvs/ccvs/ccvs/ccvs/ccvs/ccvs
src/master/ccvs/ccvs/ccvs/ccvs/ccvs/
src/master/ccvs/ccvs/ccvs/ccvs
src/master/ccvs/ccvs/ccvs
src/master/ccvs/ccvs
src/master/ccvs
.
.
.
CVROOT
Obviously, something is not going right.
To whom it may concern:
--The installation of CVS has not been 'Trivial' to say the least. Is
there something I'm missing? Does anyone have a quick/easy way of
doing this? All the help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
