RE: [OT ?] *WIN*CVS setup questions

[Arthur Barrett]

Hi there too!

CVSNT is the default CVS that comes with WinCVS.  

You can download the latest installer from:
http://www.cvsnt.com/

Automatically updating a sandpit is probably best done with the command line.  
eg: from the directory where you have checked out your project:

cvs update

That's all there is to it.  If you are running windows you can automate this 
with the standard "at" command, on unix you can use "cron".

If you want to use cvs to download the cvsnt sources you would use:
cvs -d :sserver:address@hidden:/usr/local/cvs login
cvs -d :sserver:address@hidden:/usr/local/cvs co -r CVSNT_2_0_x cvsnt
..or 
cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/usr/local/cvs login
cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/usr/local/cvs co -r CVSNT_2_0_x cvsnt

So the CVSROOT is :sserver:address@hidden:/usr/local/cvs

Regards,


Arthur Barrett

Hi List


I am new to *Win*CVS. I've tried to subscribe to WinCVS at 
yahoo groups, but not yet received approval.

Hence the post here

Hope this isn't totally OT

I've used command line CVS for downloading beta releases of some
projects like 
http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=5109 
http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=52835

I wish to setup Win CVS to regularly download changes to these and
other projects

I understand the concept of CVS and some of the basic commands as
explained in 
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=14033&group_id=1 

1) I've visited the following places before asking here
http://cvsgui.sourceforge.net/ 
http://www.wincvs.org/ 
http://www.wincvs.org/faq.html 
http://www.thathost.com/wincvs-howto/


Being news to *Win*CVS, I have the following questions

2) What are the WinCVS preferences that I should set up to update
/ checkout changes to 
http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=52835

3) When I setup Win CVS, what's the recommended CVS Root Data
- Path
- Host address (IP / DNS name)
- Username
- CVS root

4) Is there a "quick start" for newcommers to WinCVS ? 
**I could not** find a step by step "quick start" to set up
the Win CVS **preferences**


any help would be most appreciated
Sorry if these questions were repeated earlier 

TIA
