Accessing the uClinux Repository via CVS

How to use CVS

If you want to know all the gory details, you will want to visit the CVS main web page.

For the impatient, the following is probably about all you need to know:

cvs checkout -c

Will list the modules available for checkout

cvs checkout < module name >

Will checkout the named module

cvs co < module name >

Same thing

cvs update

Updates your local archive so it is in sync with the repository -- your local updates are left intact. Tries to merge upstream updates into your local updates.

cvs up

Same thing

cvs update < file name >

Same thing but for just the named file(s)/directory(s).

cvs commit

Will check in all your work.

cvs add < file name >

Adds the named file/directory into CVS

cvs remove < file name >

Removes the named file/directory from the upstream repository.

cvs rm < file name >

Same thing

cvs log < file name >

Gives you the complete version history of what has happened to the named file(s). Along with all tags, all commit messages, etc...

cvs status < file name >

Gives you the current version number of the file(s) in question.

cvs tag TAGNAME

Tags the versions of everything in the repository with the TAGNAME label.

cvs tag TAGNAME < file name >

Tags the named file(s) in the repository with the TAGNAME label.

cvs diff

Gives you the difference between the local repository and the upstream repository.

cvs diff < file name >

Same but for the named file(s).

cvs diff -r 1.5 < file name >

Same but gives you the difference between the named file(s) and version 1.5 of the named file(s).

cvs diff -r TAGNAME < file name >

Same but gives you the difference between the named file(s) and the of the file tagged TAGNAME in the upstream repository.

cvs rdiff -r TAGNAME module

Gives you a diff (that you can actually use with patch) between the current version of module and the specified tagged version.

Add a new module into the CVS archive.
