Anyone using a CVS system ?

[derekivey]

Ok guys, I noticed that my linux computer (Fedora Core 4) has a CVS server already installed. I downloaded that Tortoise Client, and when I export my files I notice that it doesn't add that Revision info to the top, does anyone know how to enable this?

Thanks,
Derek

You need keywork expansion enabled for that file for one thing.. then you have to actually add the keyword to the file:

ie..

/* $Id:$ */

I'm still desperately in need of having a CVS (Subversion) installed. If one know how to please post. As a "Modifications Hints and Tips" would be great for public uses. I've tried it many times and I somehow couldn't get passed by >_>

and oh Marco, I want to use it on my localhost cuz to keep track on multi projects at a time isn't a simple task.

Do you have Linux installed on any computers at all? I have it installed on a really old and slow computer in my basement and it came with a CVS server installed. If you do just type the following in SSH and you should be able to get it working:

mkdir /path/to/cvs/folder/you/want/to/use

export CVSROOT=/path/to/cvs/folder/you/want/to/use

cvs init

I have my development station on Windows XP so I want to set up Subversion on it so too.

Thanks for your help anyway
