Hello All, I am a technical writer and I am asked to version control my documents and also take care of release activities.
I am going through the documentation set from CVS, but still expect a few pointers. The procedures/tasks that I am held responsible are: 1. Maintain separate CVS area for software (software hierarchy) and documentation (doc hierarchy) 2.At the time of every release, every team will give all of these files in a directory. I need to write a script "import" to check these files in the CVS area with release number as the tag. 3. I need to write a script "build" that will compile files as needed, check-in the outputs with the same tag. 4. I need to write a script "release" that will then check out read only, files with specific tag and locate them in the release area. Now MY queries: Please correct me if I am wrong. 1. I am using cvs import software <tag> from the respective respositories -software,documentation. Here software team is using a JAVA cvs, but I am using commandline cvs--Will there be any conflict, because I need to maintain their tags while importing. 2.I check out these imported files and assign tags to them using cvs tag release_1_0_1 software 3.Once I assign the tag, I will check out these files to the release area using cvs checkout. Please clarify me. Also, if some one has come across similar build process, please guide me with a better process.
