Support contracts are -available from Cyclic Software (http://www.cyclic.com). - -To report bugs send mail to bug-cvs@prep.ai.mit.edu, or run the "cvsbug" -program and fill out the template: - - $ cvsbug - -The "cvsbug" program is installed in the same location as the "cvs" -program. If your installation failed, you may need to run "cvsbug" -directly out of the "src" directory as "src/cvsbug.sh". - -Please consult the INSTALL file for information on tested -configurations.

We do some simple testing before each -release, but you are completely on your own. We recommend testing this -release on a source repository that is not critical to your work. THIS -SOFTWARE IS SUPPLIED COMPLETELY "AS IS". NO WARRANTY.... - -Thanks for your support! - - -The CVS Team, and the Cyclic CVS Hackers - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -CVS is a freely available collection of programs that provide for software -release and revision control functions in a UNIX environment. It is -designed to work on top of the RCS distribution, V4 and later. CVS does -understand how to parse older RCS formats, but cannot do any of the fancier -features (like vendor branch support) without RCS branch support. - -Short blurb from the manual page (larger blurb is included there): - cvs is a front end to the rcs(1) revision control system - which extends the notion of revision control from a collec- - tion of files in a single directory to a hierarchical col- - lection of directories consisting of revision controlled - files. These directories and files can be combined together - to form a software release. cvs provides the functions - necessary to manage these software releases and to control - the concurrent editing of source files among multiple - software developers. - -And a whole lot more. See the man/cvs.1 file for more information. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -Special note to current CVS 1.3 users: - ---> You can skip this section and go straight to "Installation" if you <-- ---> have not been running any previous releases of CVS. <-- - -See the NEWS file for a description of features new in this version. - -Some files have been renamed from the CVS 1.3 distribution. If you're -not careful, this can cause your CVS build to fail in strange ways. -In particular, be sure to remove the src/config.h file (which is now -src/options.h), as the correct config.h file is generated -automatically by the "configure" stage of installation (and installed -in this directory). - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -Installation: - -Please read the INSTALL file for installation instructions. Brief summary: - - $ ./configure - $ make - $ make check # optional, long-running, step - $ make install - $ cvsinit - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -* How do I get up-to-date information and information about other -versions of CVS? - -On the web, http://www.winternet.com/~zoo/cvs/ or -http://www.loria.fr/~molli/cvs-index.html. - -The mailing list for CVS is info-cvs@prep.ai.mit.edu. Send -subscription and removal requests for that list to -info-cvs-requests@prep.ai.mit.edu. - -[Historical note: info-cvs@prep.ai.mit.edu is now the union of - info-cvs@prep and cyclic-cvs@cyclic.com. Please use the prep - address.] - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -Credits: - -The conflict-resolution algorithms and much of the administrative file -definitions of CVS were based on the original package written by Dick Grune -at Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam <dick@cs.vu.nl>, and posted to -comp.sources.unix in the volume 6 release sometime in 1986. This original -version was a collection of shell scripts. I am thankful that Dick made -his work available. - -Brian Berliner from Prisma, Inc. (now at Sun Microsystems, Inc.) -<berliner@sun.com> converted the original CVS shell scripts into reasonably -fast C and added many, many features to support software release control -functions. See the manual page in the "man" directory. A copy of the -USENIX article presented at the Winter 1990 USENIX Conference, Washington -D.C., is included in the "doc" directory. - -Jeff Polk from BSDI <polk@bsdi.com> converted the CVS 1.2 -sources into much more readable and maintainable C code. He also added a -whole lot of functionality and modularity to the code in the process. -See the ChangeLog file. - -david d `zoo' zuhn <zoo@armadillo.com> contributed the working base code -for CVS 1.4 Alpha. His work carries on from work done by K. Richard Pixley -and others at Cygnus Support. The CVS 1.4 upgrade is due in large part to -Zoo's efforts. - -David G. Grubbs <dgg@odi.com> contributed the CVS "history" and "release" -commands. As well as the ever-so-useful "-n" option of CVS which tells CVS -to show what it would do, without actually doing it. He also contributed -support for the .cvsignore file. - -The Free Software Foundation (GNU) contributed most of the portability -framework that CVS now uses. This can be found in the "configure" script, -the Makefile's, and basically most of the "lib" directory. - -K. Richard Pixley, Cygnus Support <rich@cygnus.com> contributed many bug -fixes/enhancement as well as completing early reviews of the CVS 1.3 manual -pages. - -Roland Pesch, then of Cygnus Support <roland@wrs.com> contributed brand new -cvs(1) and cvs(5) manual pages. We should all thank him for saving us from -my poor use of our language! - -Paul Sander, HaL Computer Systems, Inc. <paul@hal.com> wrote and -contributed the code in lib/sighandle.c. I added support for POSIX, BSD, -and non-POSIX/non-BSD systems. - -Jim Kingdon and others at Cygnus Support <info@cygnus.com> wrote the -remote repository access code. - -In addition to the above contributors, the following Beta testers deserve -special mention for their support. If I have left off your name, I -apologize. Just write to me and let me know! - - Mark D. Baushke <mdb@cisco.com> - Per Cederqvist <ceder@signum.se> - J.T.
