I am a former VSS (Visual Source Safe)user and am trying out CVS/WinCVS 1.3.5.1 beta which supposedly comes with CVSNT. (I think I read that on the CVSNT readme.)
Well, it is getting very confusing. The help on WinCVS is also confusing. I understand the semantics of import, checkout and so forth but trying to do what I want is frustrating...even after searching newsgroups for howtos and faqs and so forth. I get info on how to connect remotely but nothing on setting up a development source repository that is thorough. So I am trying the simplest thing first.(supposedly) Set up locally and add some source files I have. To start, I made a repository and a working and a home directory. I've unzipped and installed with the setup.exe and accepted all defaults in the setup dialogs. Then I explored all the menus and set up under *admin-preferences with local, /home, /home. Then I did *create-create a new repository and used local,/repository, /repository. Is that right? Also, how to I start to create a directory structure? Do I add directories directly with Windows Explorer to repository? Other Questions: 1) Why do I see my whole hard drive there. 2) need to specify a path every time I check out? 3) Finally, how do I get others to connect to this. I don't see the CVSNT part that I used to see when I had WinCVS 1.2 and CVSNT downloaded from www.cvsnt.org. If anyone can point me or walk me through any of this, I would be very grateful. Thank you. _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
