CVS Introduction


An introduction to CVS use on SourceForge is Basic Introduction to CVS and SourceForge.net Project CVS Services.
Information on usage of SourceForge CVS is in Section F of the SourceForge Docs page.

How is the bitweaverCVS organized


Modules

Our CVS tree has a cvs module for each package. However, a virtual CVS module is use to create our two primary distributions: bitweaver and tikilite. Every bitweaverRoadMap has a CVS branch named after it. The branch is create AFTER we have gone into schema freeze for the project.

To get code for ReleaseOne, you want to check out the code from Sourceforge.
Developer Access: If you are you a member of the bitweaver project then you should (NOTE!! Make sure you "export CVS_RSH=ssh" in your /etc/profile or CVS shell first):

 cvs -d :ext:yourusername@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/bitweaver co -r R1 bitweaver

General Access: If not, you can get anonymous access. Note this method users a mirrored CVS and has a 24+ code delay with the :ext: method indicated above.

 cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/bitweaver co -r R1 bitweaver


To get the latest and greatest code from cvs HEAD ( currently ReleaseTwo ), don't use any tags at all:

 cvs -d :ext:yourusername@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/bitweaver co bitweaver


Other modules:


_adodb - the latest import and merge of the adodb library supported by bitweaver
_smarty - the latest import and merge of the smarty library supported by bitweaver

Branches

As discussed in ReleaseProcess there are three active branches in cvs: STABLE, TESTING, and DEVELOPMENT. See ReleaseProcess for which branch is currently in which state.

Development/HEAD

DEVELOPMENT is the cvs trunk also known as HEAD.
Fixes in STABLE get merged into TESTING as needed.
Fixes in TESTING, including those from STABLE, get merged into HEAD as needed.
Several tags are maintained on DEVELOPMENT, TESTING, and STABLE to manage the merge process. In general you should simple checkout the latest version of the brach you are working on. See ReleaseProcess for what should be done where.

Format:
  • Branch - Comment
    • Tag - Comment
    • Tag - Comment

HEAD - Current Mainline

  • This is the leading edge of development.

Bonnie - Release 2

  • R1 - Release 2
    • R1_LASTMERGE - Point at which the most recent merge to HEAD took place.
    • R1_NEXTMERGE - Point to which the next merge to HEAD will end. (Only used for a few minutes at a time while merging)

AL - Release 1

  • AL - Release 1 - No longer Maintained

    • AL_LASTMERGE - Point at which the most recent merge to HEAD took place.
    • AL_NEXTMERGE - Point to which the next merge to HEAD will end. (Only used for a few minutes at a time while merging)
    • AL_RC1 - Release Candidate 1
    • AL_RC2 - Release Candidate 2
  • PURETIKI - Initial import of Tiki 1.8 for fork

Version Merging

How merge to HEAD is done:
In R1/bitweaver directory:
cvs update -dP
cvs tag -cF R1_NEXTMERGE
In merge/HEAD directory:
cvs -d :ext:btodoroff@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bitweaver co bitweaver
cd bitweaver
cvs update -j R1_LASTMERGE -j R1_NEXTMERGE
cvs commit -m "Merge recent changes from R1 into HEAD"
cd ..
rm -rf bitweaver
Back in R1/bitweaver directory:
cvs tag -r R1_NEXTMERGE -F R1_LASTMERGE


NOTE about the -kk option: There is one major caveat with using `-kk' on merges. Namely, it overrides whatever keyword expansion mode CVS would normally have used. In particular, this is a problem if the mode had been `-kb' for a binary file. Therefore, if your repository contains binary files, you will need to deal with the conflicts rather than using `-kk'

Merging using Meld

make sure you have Meld installed:
Fedora Core: # yum -y install meld

and then get R1 and HEAD into seperate directories:
cvs -d :ext:btodoroff@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bitweaver co -d biteaver_R1 -r R1 bitweaver
cvs -d :ext:btodoroff@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bitweaver co -d biteaver_HEAD bitweaver

open meld, activate the CVS text filter in the preferences window, click on the new icon and select the 2 dirs:
in the compare directories tab select bitweaver_R1 as the Mine directory and the bitweaver_HEAD directory as the Original directory.

merge the two, and commit to CVS

i don't think any tags are needed in CVS if this method is used, but i might be mistaken.

How a release branch is created
In <release> directory:
cvs -d:ext:..... co bitweaver
In <release>/bitweaver directory:
cvs update -dP
cvs rtag -b -D <today date="" plus="" year:="" yyyy-mm-dd=""><release> bitweaver
cvs rtag -r <release><release>_LASTMERGE bitweaver


Including 3rd party code in CVS

How merge to HEAD is done:

Let's say we want to import the excellent database abstraction layer
ADOdb version 4.60 into our CVS repository:


$ wget http://phplens.com/lens/dl/adodb360.tgz
$ tar xvzf adodb360.tgz
$ rm adodb360.tgz
$ cd adodb
$ cvs import -m 'Imported ADOdb 4.60' _adodb PHPLENS_COM R4_60
$ cd ..
$ rm -fr adodb


Now, we're going to check it out from CVS and fix a bug we found:


$ cvs checkout _adodb
$ cd _adodb
...hack, chop, whittle...
$ cvs commit -m "Fixed bug #12345: Replace doesn't use native REPLACE command, if available"
$ cd ..
$ rm -fr _adodb


Now, we want to upgrade to version 4.62:


$ wget http://phplens.com/lens/dl/adodb462.tgz
$ tar xvzf adodb462.tgz
$ rm adodb462.tgz
$ cd adodb
$ cvs import -m 'Imported ADOdb 4.62' _adodb PHPLENS_COM R4_62


This command completed successfully, but reported the following:

1 conflicts created by this import.
Use the following command to help the merge:


cvs checkout -j -jR4_62 _adodb


So, let's delete the imported directory:

$ cd ..
$ rm -fr adodb

And checkout as instructed above.


$ cvs checkout -jR4_60 -jR4_62 _adodb


Manually resolve any conflicts that were reported.

Now, let's commit our 4.60 changes into 4.62:


$ cvs commit -m 'Merged our 4.60 changes into 4.62'


And finally remove our directory:


$ rm -fr _adodb

Importing New Packages into CVS Modules

  1. If you are importing a module from TikiPro, firstly delete all CVS directories from the package.
  2. cd into the package directory you wish to import.
  3. Use the following to import the package {CODE()}$ cvs -qz5 -d:ext:bitweaver@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/bitweaver import -m'IMPORT TikiPro CLYDE FINAL' _bit_sample BITWEAVER HEAD{CODE}
  4. Add the module and alias to CVSROOT/modules and append to modules alias bitweaverdev

Changing Branch for specific CVS modules

needed to move a package from HEAD into release module.
  1. modify CVSROOT/modules that the package is in the release module bitweaver
  2. cd to the module for which you want to change the branch tag
  3. cvs tag -R -b <branch>
  4. cvs up -r <branch>
  5. cvs commit
  6. to make sure it worked, you can remove the package dir and checkout the package again:
    1. cvs co -r <branch><cvs module="" /></branch></branch></branch></release></release></release></today></release></release>
