WinCvs client

To use WinCvs to check out your own set of source code files, you must first set up the correct CVS root using the following steps.

1. Launch WinCvs and select Admin - Preferences. Enter the CVSROOT:

   :pserver:guest@cvs.sunsource.net:/cvs

   Click OK.

2. If this is your first CVS checkout, create a folder in Windows Explorer to hold all of your CVS project folders. Then create a subfolder for this project. (You may even want to create separate subfolders for each module if you're working in more than one.)

3. In WinCvs, select Admin - Login and enter your CVS password.

4. Click on the left window in the program and select a folder. Then select Create - Checkout Module. Select the project folder you created earlier.

5. Enter the project module name and click OK. You should see a scrolling list of filenames as these are created in your folder(s).

6. Repeat the module creation process for each additional CVS module you wish to check out.

TortoiseCVS client

TortoiseCVS is a Windows Explorer shell extension, generally accessed via the right-click context menu on Explorer windows (including your Desktop).

1. If this is your first CVS checkout, create a folder in Windows Explorer to hold all of your CVS project folders.

2. Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the folder which contains (or will contain) your checked-out CVS modules.

3. Select File - CVS Checkout.... The Checkout Module dialog box will appear. (You may also access this dialog by selecting CVS Checkout... from the context menu presented when you right-click on your Explorer window's background.)

4. In the Module tab, enter the CVSROOT:

   :pserver:guest@cvs.sunsource.net:/cvs

   Also, enter the Module:

   gridengine/[modulename]

   Click OK.

5. Repeat the module creation process for each additional CVS module you wish to check out.

Command-line CVS client

Before you can do a CVS checkout, you must set the CVSROOT to indicate where the CVS repository for this project is located.

1. The command to set CVSROOT and login is:

   cvs -d :pserver:guest@cvs.sunsource.net:/cvs login

   There is no password for guest. Press Enter after this command.

   Then you can check out a working copy with:

   cvs -d :pserver:guest@cvs.sunsource.net:/cvs checkout gridengine

   If this is the only project you are working on, you only need to set the CVSROOT once. Thereafter when you log in to this domain, the CVS repository for this project is assumed. If you are working on multiple projects, however, you must specify the CVSROOT each time you log in to ensure that the CVS repository you are accessing is the right one.

2. To check out the project source repository in an individual module (if you don't need the entire repository), type:

   cvs -d :pserver:guest@cvs.sunsource.net:/cvs checkout gridengine/[modulename]

   This command should result in a scrolling list of files being added to the local directory you specified on your machine. Now you are ready to use your file editor to work with individual files and make changes.

If you wish to contribute to the project's CVS repository, you must have "write" permissions as a project member. Note: If your site requires an SSH tunnel for security purposes, you will need to set one up before you can commit modified files into the project repository.
