DEPRICATED! Using SVN instead. Orca CVS usage.

Note:

Reviewed for release 2.5.0.

To start

CVS is a version control system. For general information on using CVS, see the CVS manual.

CVS tools

Cervisia is a Graphical front-end for CVS, useful for doing the complex things like merges and branch creation. On Debian systems you can install it with:

# apt-get install cervisia

Developer access

Developers' CVSROOTs should look like:

:ext:my_sf_name@orca-robotics.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/orca-robotics

To have this automatically loaded, put the following line into your .bashrc file or similar. Remember to replace 'my_sf_name'.

alias orcacvs='cvs -d :ext:my_sf_name@orca-robotics.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/orca-robotics'

Then type in this in a terminal:

$ orcacvs checkout orca2

Anonymous access

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@orca-robotics.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/orca-robotics co orca2
