A Quick Howto for Konqueror/Cervisia/CVS
This brief tutoiral will teach you how to check out the rreport module from the Biostat server. First you must
open Konquereor:
Notice the icon near the upper right corner that looks like a brick
wall. That's the
Cervisia View. Essentialy Konqueror treats the CVS
functionality as a special View type. The other icons next to Cervisia
are the "Icon View" and the "List view" icons.
Now click on the
Cervisia View icon.
You should see a benign warning message like the one above. Cervisia
is complaining because the current directory,
/home/hornerjr, is not
controlled by CVS. Click on "OK" to get rid of the messages. *We are
now in Cervisia Mode*.
You should see 2 new menu entries at the top:
Advanced, and
Repository. Click on
Repository and select
Checkout:
You should now see a window like the one above. Make sure and fill out
the
Repository field with the correct
CVSROOT content (refere to
BiostatCvs for more info). Make sure to fill out the
Module field with
rreport. Leave the
Branch Tag field empty. For the
Working Directory field, I have chosen to place the
checked out rreport module
in /home/hornerjr. When I click the
OK button, Cervisia will creat the directory
/home/hornerjr/rreport.
You can choose another working directory by clicking on the
... button . Once you're done, click
OK.
Now, your're probably thinking that the above action didn't work, since nothing changed. However it
did work. You now have
to instruct Konqueror to open the newly created
rreport folder (or directory, same thing). On the left-hand pane, scroll down
and find where you placed
rreport. Once you've found it, you should see the following:
Congratultations! You have successfully checked out the
rreport module. Now, just use your favorite editor to
make your modifications. Once you're done,
right click on the file you were editing and select the
Commit
entry. This will bring up another window for you to write a CVS Log Entry. Click
OK when you're done.
Additional Notes
You can find additional CVS functionality by clicking on the
Advanced
and
Repository menues at the top of Konqueror. Also, right click
on any file or directory within the module and you will find more CVS
functionality.
