Several programs can be used to work with CVS under Windows. Tortoise and WinCVS are often mentioned. When either is up and running, visually comparing files will be a need. For that, many people use WinMerge or ExamDiff. Also PuTTY comes in handy. Sourceforge provides a documentation page explaining how to set up Tortoise and other programs and their differences.

Using Tortoise under Windows

  1. right click a root directory of your choice and select
    CVS checkout...
  2. in the CVSROOT line, type:
    :pserver:anonymous@bitweaver.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bitweaver
    when you are registered on sourceforge, you should use this
    :ext:<your_username>@bitweaver.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bitweaver
  3. in the Module line, type:
    bitweaver ( or the module you want to get - see CVS Modules )
  4. select the appropriate revision from the corresponding tab. this will usually be R plus the appropriate release version. e.g.:
    R1
  5. never use import. All you need are checkout and update.
  6. Read further details on downloading bitweaver and checking out code on this page: GetCode

Troubleshooting

  • typos?
  • SF down again?
  • username expired? (long time no login)
  • first time using CVS? ... lots of SSH stuff to wade through</your_username>
