CVS
From Netsoc Wiki
Netsoc runs FreeBSD. CVS is built into this operating system allowing quick and easy per-user setup.
CVS is very handy even when working alone. A common problem among computer science students is that they code on different machines and may not have the most up to date version to hand. CVS is of course useful for projects among a group. Note that CVS doesn't have to be used for source code. You could use it to have version control on an essay, or other publication you're working on.
3 Steps to setting up CVS:
- Create your cvs directory: "mkdir ~/cvs"
- Export the environmental variable: Place "CVSROOT=~/cvs" in your .bashrc file. Log out and log back in.
- Start the CVS: "cvs init"
To import a project into the cvs.
- "cd path/to/project"
- "cvs import projectname devel alpha" where devel is the branch name and alpha is the release name
