Repository Options - CVS

Top  Previous  Next

The CVS Project Parameters dialog is used to define the access parameters to the CVS server:
On CS-Converter, the Server group provides a single method to define the CVS server parameters - User defined. You must know the Host name, CVS Root and Repository mode.
For example:

·	The raw definition -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/shareaza implies that the Host name is 'cvs.sourceforge.net', the CVS Root is '/cvsroot/shareaza' and the Repository mode is 'pserver '. When prompted, specify the user name 'anonymous'.

·	The raw definition -d:sspi:myserver.com:c:/cvsrepo/projects implies that the Host name is 'myserver.com', the CVS Root is 'c:/cvsrepo/projects' and the Repository mode is 'sspi'.

Repository mode
The repository mode is determined by the CVS administrator according to the security level required by the project and other considerations. CS-CVS supports all the commonly used modes.

Repository Parameters

The repository parameters are:

o

Host – This is the name or IP address, of the server that holds the CVS repository. The list-box displays a list of recently used hosts.

o

CVS Root – This is the path on the CVS server where the CVS repository is stored. This path is determined by the CVS administrator. (This field is case sensitive.) You may save many projects in one CVS repository. The CVS term for project is Module.

o

Module – This field is inactive. You need to specify this value when you later define a project in this repository.

o

Advanced options (keywords) – These options are determined by the CVS administrator when using special settings, e.g. irregular TCP/IP port numbers. Click Tips… for a list of all keywords available for the selected repository mode.

The repository parameters must match the CVS project definitions as made on the server. You will not be able to access the project if this is not the case.
Click OK to test your settings. In specific modes, CS-RCS will prompt for a username and password. Specify the required details and click OK. If you get any error, fix it.
If you are accessing a public server, a warning indicating that you only have read-only access to the project is expected.
Click Yes to confirm.
