CVS Wizard: CVS Root
See Also
The CVS Root page of the CVS wizard enables you to specify the CVS
root for your CVS repository when checking out files from a CVS repository
or importing files into a CVS repository.
You access this panel when you do the following:
- Checkout a project using the Checkout wizard by choosing CVS > Checkout from the main menu
- Import a project to a repository using the Import Projects wizard by selecting a project node in the Projects window and choosing CVS > Import into Repository from the main menu.
Alternately, you can right-click a project node in the Projects window and choose CVS > Import into Repository.
When checking out files or importing a project into a repository, you need to specify the location of the repository as defined by the CVS root.
To specify the CVS root, specify the following:
- CVS root. Select a CVS root type and location from the drop-down list.
The drop-down list contains a list of previous CVS root locations used in the IDE.
If no CVS root locations are listed in the drop-down list, you need to supply the CVS root type.
You can enter the information directly in the text field, or click the Edit button to open the Edit CVS Root dialog box.
The IDE supports directly the following CVS root types:
- pserver. For connecting to pserver repositories.
:pserver:username@hostname:/repository_path
- ext. For connecting to CVS repositories using SSH, etc.
:pserver:username@hostname:/repository_path
The following root types require an external CVS executable:
- fork for protocol access to local CVS repository
:fork:/repository_path
- local for direct access to local CVS repository
:local:/repository_path
- Password. Enter the password for the user to access the repository.
- Proxy configuration. Click the Proxy configuration button to specify details of your proxy configuration to connect to the CVS repository.
