Meta-CVS 1.1.98 (1.1 branch)
Meta-CVS is version control system created around CVS. It retains most of the features of CVS while adding support for first class directory structure versioning, storage of symbolic links, and versioning of execute permissions and user-defined properties. Meta-CVS greatly simplifies branching and merging by keeping track of what is merged where. It records file types and automatically assigns a CVS keyword expansion mode to newly added files whose suffixes match previously recorded types. Meta-CVS also has an importing feature that automatically figures out renames and moves, making it possible to easily keep up with patches from multiple sources in spite of directory structure changes.License: GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:
Major changes have been made to how Meta-CVS is built. It now adheres to the de-facto configure/make/make install standard. A C compiler is no longer required, only an installation of CLISP (but only glibc and cygwin are supported target platforms, since the program now targets the platform ABI directly rather than through C wrappers). The output of certain commands is now automatically filtered to convert the F-hex names to paths.Image

CVS: move part of repository (branch) to SVN server

Hi all, We have CVS server running for few years with absolutely no problems. Because of conditions not depending on me, I'm forced to move some part of our repository to another server (SVN). I need to move ONLY one branch from CVS server to SVN server. The branch must be moved with all... (7 Replies)

CVS-DEBC(1)						      General Commands Manual						       CVS-DEBC(1)

NAME

       cvs-debrelease - upload a cvs-buildpackage/cvs-debuild generated package

SYNOPSIS

       cvs-debrelease [cvs-debrelease options] [--dopts [dupload/dput options]]

DESCRIPTION

       cvs-debrelease  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 uploads the package using debrelease(1), which in turn  calls	either	dupload  or  dput.
       Note  that  the	--dopts  option  must  be specified to distinguish the cvs-debrelease options from the dupload or dput options.  Also, the
       devscripts configuration files will be read, as described in the debrelease(1) manpage.

       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.  All debrelease options (as listed below) are also accepted.

       --dupload, --dput
	      This specifies which uploader program to use; the default is dupload.

       -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.

       --no-conf, --noconf
	      Do not read any configuration files.  This can only be used as the first option given on the command-line.

       --help, --version
	      Show help message and version information respectively.
