Importing New Modules into CVS with Cervisia
In CVS, a module is nothing more than a folder and all files and folders underneath. This tutorial will describe how to import your folder of software into CVS.
First, click on the Cervisia View icon to get into
Cervisia Mode.
Next, click on the menu item
Repository ->
Import. You should see the following window:
The
Working Folder is
very important. It describes which folder will be imported as the CVS
module. In the example above, the
RApache folder
in /home/hornerjr/R_MODULE/mod_R folder will be imported, and the module name will be
RApache. I also recommend clicking the checkbox "Use file's modification time as time of import. This is important if you want to preserve the original timestamps. Otherwise all the files will be imported with the current time.
Click
OK. You should now be able to check out your new
module named
RApache, and you can follow the instructions in
KonqCervisiaCvs to
checkout your new module.
One Caveat: I recommend renaming the folder you just used to import the module. In the case above, rename /home/hornerjr/R_MODULE/mod_R/RApache to something like home/hornerjr/R_MODULE/mod_R/RApache.bak. That way, when you go to checkout
RApache, you won't overwrite
RApache.bak.
