<chapter id="ch-cvs"> <title>CVS</title> <para> The Concurrent Versions System (<application>CVS</application>) provides a framework where multiple users can edit the same files. As you can imagine, if a group of users edits the files in a single directory, chaos would reign. Using <application>CVS</application>, however, a group of people can safely work on the same set of files. <application>CVS</application> keeps the master copy of the files, and it records who changed what and when in a central repository. If conflicts arise, <application>CVS</application> lets you know. <application>CVS</application> is often used so that programmers can share code, but it also works well for documentation. </para> <indexterm> <primary>cvs</primary> </indexterm> <section id="sn-cvs-overview"> <title>How CVS Works</title> <indexterm> <primary>cvs</primary> <secondary>how it works</secondary> </indexterm> <indexterm> <primary>cvs</primary> <secondary>overview</secondary> </indexterm> <para> In most cases, each set of files that make up a package or project is stored as a <firstterm>module</firstterm> on the CVS server. </para>
<para> When working with files from <application>CVS</application>, you <firstterm>checkout</firstterm> a copy of the module on your local file system. After modifying one or more files, you <firstterm>commit</firstterm> them back to the central <application>CVS</application> repository server. </para>
<para> With <application>CVS</application> you may edit a file without first getting permission or locking the file. The <wordasword>concurrent</wordasword> part of the <application>CVS</application> name comes from its ability to allow several different people to edit different parts of the same file. As long as none of the changes overlap, <application>CVS</application> can correctly record their changes. In case of duplicate changes, they are clearly marked in the files and the authors must resolve the issue among themselves. </para>
<para> When you commit changes, only changes to files the server knows about are committed. In other words, if you created a file in your local checkout of a module, the new file is not automatically uploaded to the server. You must <firstterm>add</firstterm> the file to the repository and then commit it. If you remove a file from your local checkout of a module, you must specify that you want to remove it from the repository on the CVS server and then commit the removal of the file. </para>
<para> The specific commands to perform these actions are discussed in <xref linkend="sn-cvs-cvscommands"></xref>. </para>
<para> If someone has modified the file between the last time you grabbed the file from CVS and when you try to commit a change, <application>CVS</application> will try to merge the changes into the master copy of the <application>CVS</application> server. If the content you changed is in a different location in the file than the content changed by someone else, chances are, the commit action will go through without a <firstterm>conflict</firstterm>. If someone modified the same content as the content you just changed and tried to commit, you will see a message that a file conflict has occurred. Thus, you need to <firstterm>update</firstterm> your files frequently. It is a good practice to update them right before you start modifying a file. Refer to <xref linkend="sn-cvs-cvscommands-conflicts"></xref> for instructions on resolving conflicts. </para> </section> <section id="sn-cvs-preparation"> <title>Preparing For CVS Use</title> <indexterm> <primary>cvs</primary> <secondary>preparing for use</secondary> </indexterm> <para> Before using <application>CVS</application>, you need to establish an account with the <application>CVS</application> server.

The buffer will already contain comments describing the change; you do not need to delete them as you enter your own text. </para> </note>
<para> The log message should be as descriptive as possible so that you and anyone else working on the module understands what changed. Using a log message such as <userinput>updated some files</userinput> does not accurately describe what has changed and will not help you in the future. If you are correcting a bug, use the <application>Bugzilla</application> reference. </para>
<para> The <replaceable><filename></replaceable> can be one filename, a series of filenames separated by spaces, or a group of filenames specified using wildcards such as <filename>*.png</filename> or <filename>foo-*.sgml</filename>. </para>
<para> If no filename or group of filenames is specified in the <command>commit</command> command, all outstanding changes of any kind are committed to the server. The command is recursive and will include changes in any subdirectories of the module. Use caution when issuing the <command>commit</command> command without any filenames because you might not remember exactly what files changed. </para>

<section id="sn-cvs-cvscommands-admin"> <title>Managing Binary Files</title> <indexterm> <primary>cvs</primary> <secondary>binary files</secondary> </indexterm> <para> The most commonly-archived files are simple text files but sometimes binary files are also archived. The <application>cvs</application> program recognizes most common filename extentions such as <filename>.png</filename> or <filename>.jpg</filename>, so <application>cvs</application> usually "does the right thing". </para>
<para> When a copy of a file is checked out of the repository, <application>cvs</application> scans it for special keywords, such as "<computeroutput>$id:$</computeroutput>" and replaces the string with a generated value, such as the file version number. </para>
<para> This keyword substitution usually corrupts binary files, so it must be turned off if <application>cvs</application> does not recognize your file as binary. To mark your file as being binary, and thus needing the keyword expansion turned off, use the command: </para> <screen width="60"><prompt>$ </prompt><command>cvs</command> <option>admin</option> <option>-kk</option> <replaceable>filename</replaceable></screen> <para> Note that the file must already be checked in to the <abbrev>CVS</abbrev> repository before the <option>admin</option> command can be used. This is OK, since the keyword expansion is done as the file is checked out and copied to the local directory, not when the file is committed to the repository. </para> <tip> <title>Recovering a binary file</title> <para> If you check a binary file into the repository and then find it corrupted when it is checked out, do not panic. Simply use the <option>admin</option> command as described above, delete your local file copy, and check it out again. </para> </tip> </section>
<section id="sn-cvs-cvscommands-rm"> <title>Removing Files</title> <indexterm> <primary>cvs</primary> <secondary>removing files</secondary> </indexterm> <para> If a file is no longer needed in the module, use the <command>remove</command> command to remove it from your local copy and then <command>commit</command> the removal to the server. Even though the file is removed from current version of the module, an archived copy is still kept on the server and can be retrieved at any time with the <command>add</command> command. </para> <screen><prompt>$ </prompt><command>cvs rm -f</command> <replaceable>file-to-remove</replaceable></screen> <para> After removing the file, you must <command>commit</command> the removal: </para> <screen><prompt>$ </prompt><command>cvs commit</command> <option>-m</option>"<replaceable>some log message</replaceable>" <replaceable>file-to-remove</replaceable></screen> <para> You can not use wildcards in the <command>commit</command> command to identify removed files. They must be specified with a exact filename. </para>
<para> If you need to rename a file, it is best to rename the file on the <application>CVS</application> server so that the history of the file is preserved. If you need to rename a file, send an email to <ulink url="mailto:cvsdocs-administrator@fedora.redhat.com"><filename>cvsdocs-administrator@fedora.redhat.com</filename> </ulink> asking to have the file renamed. </para> </section>
