I am trying to use CVS for the first time and not having much luck. I am ruinning YellowDog Linux on PPC. Installed CVS version is 1.11.17 as reported by cvs -version.
I have created a directory /home/uj672c/cvs_dir for the archive. My linux shell is cshell. I added setenv CVSROOT /home/uj672c/cvs_dir to my .cshrc file. I issued the command "cvs init" and received 208 > cvs init cvs [init aborted]: cannot make directory /project/labtest.common/cm/cvs: No such file or directory ls cvs_dir showed me an empty dir. I would have expected that the CVSROOT environment variable would have pointer to the cvs_dir. so I issued cvs -d $CVSROOT init Which was accepted without error and a ls of vcs_dir showed a directory named CVSROOT with lots of contents. So obviously the cvs init command worked. So the first question: Why didn't "cvs init" command work? So now to the more interesting question. I ran through the standard exercize of mkdir tc mkdir tc/main mkdir tc/testing cd tc cvs import -m "Imported sources" yoyodyne/rdir yoyo start For which I received the following: 145 > cvs import -m "Imported" yoyodyne/rdir yoyo start cvs [import aborted]: /project/labtest.common/cm/cvs/CVSROOT: No such file or directory So I tried cvs -d $CVSROOT import -m "Imported sources" yoyodyne/rdir yoyo start for which I received: 146 > cvs -d $CVSROOT import -m "Imported" yoyodyne/rdir yoyo start cvs [import aborted]: /home/uj672c/cvs_dir/CVSROOT/CVSROOT: No such file or directory so tell me what am I doing wrong? Thanks.
