Developer News: SourceForge CVS Changes

Posted by: gstarrettOn 2006/5/14 4:09:00 8416 reads

Attention users and developers who access the XOOPS source code through SourceForge's CVS services:
SourceForge has just completed rolling out a new CVS architecture, which affects the way we access the CVS servers. The hostname for CVS access has changed to "xoops.cvs.sourceforge.net".

(check details ...)

The hostname for CVS access has changed from "cvs.sourceforge.net" or "cvs.sf.net" to "xoops.cvs.sourceforge.net". The new CVSROOT to use when accessing XOOPS CVS anonymously is:
Quote:

:pserver:anonymous@xoops.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/xoops

According to SourceForge, the changes will offer greater performance and stability and will eliminate several single points of failure.

Note that access to the XOOPS core is through Subversion, which isn't part of this change. See the XOOPS SourceForge project Subversion page for more information on subversion:
http://sourceforge.net/svn/?group_id=41586

See the XOOPS SourceForge CVS page for more information on using CVS with XOOPS.
http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=41586

Developers, see the dev.xoops.org internal discussion thread for additional information:

Thx for the info Glen! I hope sourceforge will not make any changes to CVS in the next time, because updating this was quite a mess with Eclipse.

This update was a (very) long time coming. They had been talking about it for well over a year, so it was no surprise that the change was coming. The timing was a little surprising since the rollout date was announced literally on the day it was being deployed.

In short, don't worry about sudden changes to CVS. SourceForge seems to be very careful about their code repositories, and from the sounds of it this will be much more reliable than the old setup.

Why was it a mess with Eclipse? Was the additional CVSROOT modification info I posted to dev.xoops.org any help?

worked fine for me..

altho i might add note that, you can't just update ur cvsroot in tortoiseCVS and then click update cvs to update your cvs version on your pc.. you have to do a full checkout again..

if you've made changes on your cvs on your pc during the downtime of CVS, then rename your existing folder on your pc, then do a checkout from the cvs.. after that, merge your changes back into the newly checked out version..

The problem was that I could not CHANGE the existing URL (in Eclipse) to the cvs-repository (or I could not find it where the info is hidden).

So I finally checked out the module again and copied over my backup-files, which is a mess with hundred of files and folders.

Ok I sort of know what CVS is.... yet last time with out a guide in it all.... I fell flat on my face, now given that I am getting better at programming and fixin....., I would like to help...Yet I don't know how

So can someone out of the proffesional developers tell me the best software to access it, the way it works (is it a filling system? where files are changable and uploadable, almost a wiki system in a way?)
If there is a guide some where I can study?... As if I can..... then I can put in more input, and get Xoops, Tidy.
Plus also i need it as i have finnished a Bible module that still needs continuing work doing, where i will need others help to add some more features, same with all module I use.
So can someone help me please?

Well you should read up first what cvs is about
(thats what i did) because the explanation would be lengthy.

Here is a recommended ebook (downloadable in different formats):

Red Bean´s cvs book - Open source development with cvs

If you are using windows then i would recommend Tortoise CVS as Software of choice. I found it to be the simplest of those i tried (not many).

There is additional information on the Tortoise website about cvs of course.

Once you read the book (i recommend reading it fully even if you dont need all but it gives a better global picture) get back with the questions you might have.

Its not that i am to lazy to explain (yeah maybe i am) it´s just that from my experience this was a good way to start.

I also would like to add a note that the XOOPS core developers are currently using the Subversion system (SVN) to keep track of the development branches, releases and tasks, rather then the Concurrent Versioning System. The SVN is a recent addition to SF.net's services, and works very well for the development style XOOPS' developers employ.

More info at the XOOPS.org project space on sf.net.

SVN seems to be really cool from what I saw at the first checkout.

For those who would like to develop modules without! spending money I recommend Eclipse plus the plugins phpeclipse (PHP-development), WTP (Web Tools), JSeclipse (Javascript-development), Subclipse (for SVN) and WebDAV/FTP-plugin.

That is a complete package!

After reading a few bits off diffrent people sites on CVS....
The explination in Tortoise's help was quickest and easiest to understand in english and not discombobulating.
