It handles multiple -developers, multiple directories, triggers to enable/log/control -various operations, and can work over a wide area network. The -following tasks are not included; they can be done in conjunction with -CVS but will tend to require some script-writing and software other -than CVS: bug-tracking, build management (that is, make and make-like -tools), and automated testing. - -And a whole lot more. See the manual for more information. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -Notes to people upgrading from a previous release of CVS: - -See the NEWS file for a description of features new in this version. - -See the Compatibility section of the manual for information on -compatibility between CVS versions. The quick summary is that as long -as you not using the optional watch features, there are no -compatibility problems with CVS 1.5 or later. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -Verifying the Integrity of Downloads: - -The official CVS source and binary releases are signed by the CVS maintainer -who generated them. This does not imply any sort of warranty, but it does mean -that you can verify that the file you downloaded did, in fact, come from a CVS -maintainer. - -The OpenPGP keys of the CVS maintainers who have submitted them are in the KEYS -file of the CVS distribution and are also available from many OpenPGP key -servers. It is recommended that you verify the key fingerprints against an -external source, however you obtain the key. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -Installation: - -Please read the INSTALL file for installation instructions. Brief summary: - - $ ./configure - $ make - (run the regression tests if desired) - $ make install - (create a repository if you don't already have one) - -The documentation is in the doc subdirectory. cvs.texinfo is the main -manual; cvs.info* and cvs.ps are the info and postscript versions, -respectively, generated from cvs.texinfo. The postscript version is -for US letter size paper; we do this not because we consider this size -"better" than A4, but because we believe that the US letter version -will print better on A4 paper than the other way around. If you want a -version formatted for A4, add the line @afourpaper near the start of -cvs.texinfo and re-generate cvs.ps using TeX. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -* How do I get up-to-date information and information about other -versions of CVS? - -See also - http://cvs.nongnu.org - http://www.cvsnt.org - -Anyone can add themselves to the following mailing lists: - - bug-cvs: This is the list which users are requested to send bug reports - to. General CVS development and design discussions also tend to take - place on this list. - info-cvs: This list is intended for user questions, including general - help requests. - cvs-announce: CVS release announcements and other major - announcements about the project are sent to this list. - cvs-announce-binaries: Announcements are made to this list - when binaries for various platforms are built and initially - posted for download. - -To subscribe to any of these lists, send mail to <list>-request@nongnu.org -or visit http://savannah.nongnu.org/mail/?group=cvs and follow the instructions -for the list you wish to subscribe to. - -The newsgroup for CVS (and other configuration management systems) is -comp.software.config-mgmt. The gnu.cvs.help newsgroup is a 2-way mirror -of the info-cvs@nongnu.org mailing list and gnu.cvs.bug is similarly a 2-way -mirror of bug-cvs@nongnu.org. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -Credits: See the AUTHORS file. |
