Have ur CVS installed..

Use the www.webmin.org (Webmin) to help u manage it.

User management and repository management is piece a cake.

Hi DragonCity
I have configured CVS by using webmin ...its ok

Means my cvs repositry is /home/cvs
under home cvs , the webmin created a dir automatically as
cvsroot
& under that CVSROOT dir is also thers

/home/cvs/cvsroot/CVSROOT

Then can u plzzz tell how can i check this CVS

Hi,

Wow, do u mean normally ur not grateful when ppl try to help u? hahah, juz kidding.

Well, within webmin itself u can watch the changes, but here i wan to make things easier for u to see, so i need u to do the following things.

1. Install JDK1.5/JDK1.4

2. Install Eclipse

3. Write a simple hello world program in JAVA. Then, right click on the project, and choose -->Team-->Share Project

4. Enter:

HOST: Ip address of cvs server
REPOSITORY PATH:your cvshome ie.: /home/cvs
USER: username
PASWORD: password
CONNECTION TYPE: extssh
Use default port

Ur done, everything is now added to cvs, but u need to check out to commit the changes on the files u added to CVS, to do this, i think u should know very well

Hi Dragoncity

Thxxx , but tell me ...how to check a single file means
Suppose i have created a file test.txt in /home/cvs....

After that i modified it........
Then how can i see that file- change?

Alright, if u have committed a file's code/data provided u have checked out (commited the change to CVS). Then u will be able to see it in Webmin :

Server --> CVS Server --> Browse Repository --> ]Ur project folder --> xxxx

xxx is the file that u have changed, click on it and view the diffs. (Here, u'll see the highlighted changes u made, according to dates).

Got it? It's very straightforward if u use the frontend tool.

So, do create an eclipse project, right now, take a baby step to do it. Dont jump to the text mode, u'll kill yerself.
