1. decide on a location say "/opt/CVSROOT" 2. "export CVSROOT=/opt/CVSROOT" (optional, or you will need to use the -d option" 3. edit /etc/profile and put 2. in it 4. "cvs init" to initialize the space 5. go to the directory and do a "cvs import"....you will have to look up the exact syntax rules.
Then to so some location type "cvs update" and pull whatever you named and there you have a sandbox. If you have binary files..pay attention to the extentions and use the -kb option......or email me and I will send you my file I use to control most of that without it. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jake Sent: Saturday, November 13, 2004 10:37 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Source Control Uh.... ok.
