Mounting a CVS Directory With Generic VCS Support
Before you can mount a CVS filesystem using generic version control support,
you need to install CVS on your system. CVS is not provided with the IDE. If
you do not have the CVS command-line executable, you can use the built-in CVS
client.
- Choose Versioning
Mount Version Control
Generic VCS from the main window.
- In the Version Control System Profile combo box, choose the CVS configuration
for your platform or for the platform most closely matching yours.
- In the Working Directory field, type or browse to the directory where you
would like to store local files. If your working directory is already hooked
up to the repository, the rest of the information on this panel is filled
in for you.
- If your package root and your CVS root are not the same, type or browse
to the package root in the Relative Mount Point field. For more information
about setting a relative mount point, see Setting
a Relative Mount Point.
- Enter the repository server type in the CVS Server Type field. You can choose
from local, server, external, and pserver.
If you choose external, you must specify the program you will use to access
the remote server. To do so, click Next to the Environment panel of the
wizard. Click Insert and enter CVS_RSH as the name of the new
variable. Then click the Variable Values field and enter the remote shell
as the variable. If you use SSH for an external connection, you must use
public key authentication.
- Enter the repository server name and your user name.
- Enter the location of the repository. If the repository is on a local or
mapped computer, you can browse to it by clicking the Browse button.
- Specify the path to your CVS executable in the CVS Executable field. If
your system path includes the directory containing the CVS executable, this
field is already filled in for you. If your system path does not include the
CVS executable, click Browse to navigate to the CVS executable.
- If you want to configure advanced options or environment variables, click
the Next button to the Advanced Options and Environment Variables panels of
the wizard.
- Click Finish to exit the New Generic VCS wizard and mount the filesystem.
