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.
To mount a CVS directory with generic VCS support:
- Choose Versioning
Mount Version Control
Generic VCS from the main window.
- In the Version Control System Profile combo box, select the CVS configuration
for your platform or for the platform that most closely matches yours.
- In the Working Directory field, type or browse to the directory where you
want to store local files. If your working directory is already hooked up
to the repository, the rest of the information on this pane 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.
- Type the repository server type in the CVS Server Type field. You can select
from local, server, external, and pserver.
If you select external, you must specify the program you intend to use
to access the remote server. To do so, click the Next button twice. In the
Environment pane, click Insert and type 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. When you have finished setting up the environment
variable, click the Back button to return to the Profile pane.
- Type the repository server name and your user name.
- Type the location of the repository. If the repository is on a local or
mapped computer, you can navigate 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 open the Advanced and Environment panes of the wizard.
- Click Finish to close the New Generic VCS wizard and mount the filesystem.
