How do I map an active UNIX RCS files to a CS-RCS Repository?

Top  Previous  Next

To map an active UNIX RCS files to a CS-RCS Repository:

1.

Install CS-RCS specifying a new UNIX share as the Central Repository.

2.

Define an Alternate Repository project to reference your existing UNIX repository.

3.

Open the Document Explorer

4.

From the Project menu, click Scan New Files.

5.

From the Project menu, click Update to retrieve the local working copy.

If this results in undesired mapping (for example, redundant RCS folders in the working area), delete the Alternate Repository project, and use the UNIX "ln" command to map the CS-RCS central Repository to your current Repository.

For example, if the working directory is: c:\project\src, the UNIX RCS files directory is: /archive/project1/src and the CS-RCS Repository root is: /users/CS-RCS, then enter in the UNIX terminal:

ln -s /archive/project1/src /users/CS-RCS/c/project/src

6.

Using the Revision History command, verify that archives of binary files (such as Microsoft Word documents) are marked as binary. You may convert your files to binary using the rcs -kb command.
