CVS real-life examples
Hi all,
I have successfully setup a CVS pserver. I have successfully installed WinCVS, the jEdit CVS plugin and the vim CVS menu script. I have also installed cvsweb.
All works ok, from the frontends and the CLI.
I have a grasp of what CVS does apart from the typical examples commit-update and so but I am having a difficult time getting any examples of real life situations and what to do when conflicts arise and how to prevent them as much as possible. I have done the usual research (cvshome.org and google deep searches) but the subject is covered so much that no good results show up. You know, simple heuristics and so that help so much.
I have to explain CVS to a bunch of junior types and so and can't really do it if I don't "get it" myself.
Do you have any good pointers? Thanks in advance.

[BTW: It will be on Solaris, are cvs-solaris good friends?]

cvs-debc
CVS-DEBC(1) General Commands Manual CVS-DEBC(1)
NAME
cvs-debc - view contents of a cvs-buildpackage/cvs-debuild generated package
SYNOPSIS
cvs-debc [options] [package ...]
DESCRIPTION
cvs-debc is run from the CVS working directory after cvs-buildpackage or cvs-debuild. It uses the cvs-buildpackage system to locate the
.changes file generated in that run. It then displays information about the .deb files which were generated in that run, by running dpkg-
deb -I and dpkg-deb -c on every .deb archive listed in the .changes file, assuming that all of the .deb archives live in the same directory
as the .changes file. It is useful for ensuring that the expected files have ended up in the Debian package.
If a list of packages is given on the command line, then only those debs with names in this list of packages will be processed.
Note that unlike cvs-buildpackage, the only way to specify the source package name is with the -P option; you cannot simply have it as the
last command-line parameter.
OPTIONS
All current cvs-buildpackage options are silently accepted; however, only the ones listed below have any effect. For more details on all
of them, see the cvs-buildpackage(1) manpage.
-adebian-architecture, -tGNU-system-type
See dpkg-architecture(1) for a description of these options. They affect the search for the .changes file. They are provided to
mimic the behaviour of dpkg-buildpackage when determining the name of the .changes file.
-Mmodule
The name of the CVS module.
-Ppackage
The name of the package.
-Vversion
The version number of the package.
-Ttag The CVS tag to use for exporting sources.
-Rroot directory
Root of the original sources archive.
-Wwork directory
The full path name for the cvs-buildpackage working directory.
-xprefix
This option provides the CVS default module prefix.
--help, --version
Show help message and version information respectively.
