CVSROOT
environment variable appropriately to reflect the placement of your
source repository. If the above example is used, the following
commands can be placed in a
.login
or
.profile
file:
setenv CVSROOT /src/master
for csh users, and
CVSROOT=/src/master; export CVSROOT
for sh users.
You can use CVS on sources that are already under RCS control. The following example shows how. In this example, the source package is called `skunkworks'.
cvslog(local) can help. This command logs changes reported during CVS commit operations. It automatically updates a change log file in your working directory. When you are finished making changes, you (optionally) edit the change log file and then commit it to the master repository.
Note: You must edit the change log to describe a new release and commit it to the master repository before tagging the release using CVS. Otherwise, the release description will not be included in the tagged package.
See cvslog(local) for more information.
