The beauty of open source is making code freely available. The curse is trying
to organize the chaos that code development can evolve into. CVS, the Concurrent
Version System, is an open source tool for managing and distributing source code.
It allows multiple users dispersed over a wide geographic area to work on the
same file at the same time, using a shared directory. Under CVS, multiple users
can check out files from a directory tree, make changes, and then commit those
changes back into the directory. CVS is a pivotal tool on many projects involving
information or software, whether in-house or conducted over the Internet.
The CVS Pocket Reference is a quick reference guide to help administrators
and users set up and manage source code development. This small book delivers
the core concepts of version control along with a complete command reference and
guide to configuration and repository set up. The book includes:
- A version control primer that teaches the general concepts of version control
and how it applies to CVS.
- Instructions on how to install and configure CVS for Unix®-like operating
systems.
- Administrator and user sections, with complete listings of their respective
commands and options for configuring and using CVS.
- Details on how to import files from RCS and SCCS directories into CVS.
- References to related useful materials.
Much more than a quick list of commands and options, this little book is packed
with a surprising amount of detail--including an overview of background concepts,
thorough descriptions on how to use and administer a CVS repository, and discussions
of CVS-related files and how to manage them--all in a convenient reference format.
This edition covers the CVS 1.11 and includes new commands for querying a central
CVS repository, new configuration parameters, and new options for setting up a
server for remote access. The book is a perfect companion for open source developers.
The CVS Pocket Reference also contains tips on common tasks, such as converting
projects from other revision control formats to CVS. It's an absolute must for
developers who need an on-the-job guide for quick answers to CVS dilemmas.
