The
easiest way to do this in the CS domain is to use the extssh method in
Eclipse, and to share an already existing project. The steps are:
- Have an Eclipse project with at least one file in it that you want
to share with other people in your team.
- Set up a CVS repository on a Linux machine. CVS is runnable on
any Linux host in the domain. First create a repository root at
the top
level of your home space:
%mkdir cvs.
- Next, initialize the repository:
%cvs -d ~/cvs init
This sets up the correct directory structure so that the repository can receive projects.
- To allow access by members of your group, you will need to set the permissions so that anyone can read and write the files. Use chmod -R 777 cvs to do this. Since this is obviously a security hole, probably using a repository name that is hard to guess would be better.
- In Eclipse, right-click on the project in the Package Explorer, and
choose Team/Share Project... A dialog will appear. For Host, type in
any Linux
host. e.g. cobra.cs.nmsu.edu. For Repository Path, type in the
absolute path to your new repository. e.g. /home/server1/name/cvs. For
Authentication,
type in your regular CS domain Linux name and password. For connection type,
choose extssh. (We do not have a pserver running in the CS domain).
Click Next and Next again (to use the project name as the CVS module
name).
-
A dialog box will appear with the project in the left pane. Click Finish. It
will ask you if you want to commit your changes (to make the initial version)
Click Yes, and Yes again.
- A comment dialog will appear. You can type in something like "initial
version", and click OK. All the files in the project will be copied
to the repository.
- The files will be annotated in the Package Explorer with the version
number in 1.1 style. When you make a change to a file, it will be annotated
in the Package Explorer
with
a '>'.
This
means
there
are
uncommitted
changes. Right click on the file and choose Team/Commit... Again you
can type in a commit and the new version will be saved and the version
number incremented.
- Other users can check out the whole project by creating a link to
the repository through the Team Synchronization perspective. In the
Synchonization pane, click on the Synchronize icon. A dialog with synchronization
types will appear. Select CVS (the only one) and click Next. The CVS
repository dialog will appear. Type in the details as in step 4, select
extssh as the method, and click Next. A dialog will appear askign for
the module name. Either type in the same name as the project (step 4)
or choose Use an existing module and then the module name will appear.
Choose the module name, and click Finish. The whole project will be
checked out into your workspace.
- After every user has the project, they can use Team/Commit to put
changes into the repository, or Team/Synchronize with repository to
get changes that other people have made.
