Decal - Working with CVS

Work in progress

http://sourceforge.net/projects/sfsetup/

 

All images (BMP, Icon, etc.) need to be added to CVS as binary files!!! (WinCVS has a button for this) Otherwise the image gets treated as if its an ASCII file, binaries don't get revision merged as normal. it does a check yes but checkin is different for binaries, a binary always gets the whole file checked in while an ASCII only checks in the differences. 

 

after setting up SSH you need to log into your account not once but twice for it to work right with sourceforge:

  • once like: ssh -l <user_name> projectname.sourceforge.net
  • and once like: ssh -l <user_name> cvs.projectname.sourceforge.net

the second login sets up your CVS account or CVS won't work right for you

 

also make sure "check for an alternate rsh name" is checked and says ssh (or ssh1, etc.)

 

CVSROOT as, :ext:<USERNAME>@cvs.decaldev.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/decaldev
