!CVS Introduction
An introduction to CVS use on SourceForge is [http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=14033&group_id=1|Basic Introduction to CVS and SourceForge.net Project CVS Services].
Information on usage of SourceForge CVS is in Section F of the [http://sourceforge.net/docman/?group_id=1|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__, __bitweaverdev__ and __bitweavercore__. Every ((bitweaverRoadMap|bitweaver release)) has a CVS branch named after it. The branch is create AFTER we have gone into schema freeze for the project.

!!!CVS Modules
;bitweaver:Release material. these are the packages that are ready for general distribution.
;bitweaverdev:all bitweaver packages that are currently available in CVS. contains dangerously explosive stuff and some packages are in serious flux and are not considered ready for general consumption. gives you an idea of what great stuff is going to be available in the near future!
;bitweavercore:contains all core modules without any clutter. basically the minimum required to get a fully working version of bitweaver without any additional functionality.

!!!CVS Branches
;R#:R1 is equivalent to Release 1 and symbolises a stable release branch that will not undergo any API changes or database schema changes.
;HEAD:No guarantees for stability provided. might break at any time and no real support provided. please only use this if you are a developer and know what you are doing.

to get a reliable list of all available modules and things that are available in CVS, please check out CVSROOT and view the modules file. there you can find the various modules and what virtual modules we have available and what exaclty they contain.

To get code for ReleaseOne, you want to check out the code from Sourceforge.
__Developer Access:__ If you are you a [http://sourceforge.net/project/memberlist.php?group_id=101599|member of the bitweaver project] then you should (~~#FF0000:NOTE!!~~ __Make sure__ you "export CVS_RSH=ssh" in your /etc/profile or CVS shell first):
{code in="Bash"} cvs -d :ext:yourusername@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/bitweaver co -r R1 bitweaver{code}
__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.
{code in="Bash"} cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/bitweaver co -r R1 bitweaver{code}


To get the latest and greatest code from cvs HEAD ( currently ReleaseTwo ), don't use any tags at all:
{code in="Bash"} cvs -d :ext:yourusername@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/bitweaver co bitweaver {code}


!!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.

!! ReleaseOne R1
This is the version running on serveral sites and is considered stable. no database changes are made to this version and we try and maintain a stable environment.

!! 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 [https://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.20/cvs_5.html#SEC64|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's Date Plus 1 Year: YYYY-MM-DD> <Release> bitweaver
cvs rtag -r <Release> <Release>_LASTMERGE bitweaver

!!Including 3rd party code in CVS
Is this the same stuff from ((UsingLibrariesInCVS))? - wolff_borg
^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:

{code in="Bash"}
$ 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
{code}

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

{code in="Bash"}
$ 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
{code}

Now, we want to upgrade to version 4.62:

{code in="Bash"}
$ 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
{code}

This command completed successfully, but reported the following:

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

{code in="Bash"}
cvs checkout -j -jR4_62 _adodb
{code}

So, let's delete the imported directory:
{code in="Bash"}
$ cd ..
$ rm -fr adodb
{code}
And checkout as instructed above.

{code in="Bash"}
$ cvs checkout -jR4_60 -jR4_62 _adodb
{code}

Manually resolve any conflicts that were reported.

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

{code in="Bash"}
$ cvs commit -m 'Merged our 4.60 changes into 4.62'
{code}

And finally remove our directory:

{code in="Bash"}
$ rm -fr _adodb
{code}

!Importing New Packages into CVS Modules
# If you are importing a module from TikiPro, firstly delete all ''CVS'' directories from the package.
# __cd__ into the package directory you wish to import.
# 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}
# 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.
# modify CVSROOT/modules that the package is in the release module __bitweaver__
# cd to the module for which you want to change the branch tag
# cvs tag -R -b <branch>
# cvs up -r <branch>
# cvs commit
# to make sure it worked, you can remove the package dir and checkout the package again:
## cvs co -r <branch> <cvs module>
