Help With CVS
Please ignore this, it's just a dumping ground for right now.
CVS Procedures
or, CVS for Dummies, by Dummies
[FIXME: This entire section will be folded into the DocumentationGuide . Please mind the gap.
Setting Up
You only need to follow the procedures in this section to prepare for first-time CVS use.
Make sure you have the cvs package installed. If not, use yum to do so:
yum
yum install cvs
We recommend that you set up a ~/fedora-cvs/ directory. You may then checkout one or more Fedora subprojects into subdirectories. For instance, if you work on documentation and software development, you would create both docs/ and extras/ subdirectories. Create a local alias in ~/.bashrc to change your CVSROOT based on which folder you use. Consult our page of example scripts for more information.

If you have not handled CVSROOT in some other way, then edit your ~/.bashrc file. The following lines export a CVSROOT environment variable, and set cvs to use ssh for authentication to the CVS server.
export CVSROOT=:ext:pfrields@cvs.fedora.redhat.com:/cvs/docs export CVS_RSH=ssh
Open a new terminal, or source in the changes to ~/.bashrc with the following command:
. ~/.bashrc
Create a ~/.cvsrc with your favorite editor, containing the following lines:
cvs -z3 diff -uN rdiff -uN update -dP
If you get tired of the many status messages that cvs produces by default, change the first line to read cvs -qz3 instead.
Make the recommended directory structure if it does not exist:
mkdir -p ~/fedora-cvs/docs cd ~/fedora-cvs/docs
Begin your CVS work by checking out the common files and the example tutorial.
cvs co docs-common cvs co example-tutorial
