CVS 1.11.23 (Default branch)

CVS is a version control system, which allows you to keep old versions of files (usually source code), keep a log of who, when, and why changes occurred, etc., like RCS or SCCS. Unlike the simpler systems, CVS does not just operate on one file at a time or one directory at a time, but operates on hierarchical collections of directories consisting of version controlled files. CVS helps to manage releases and to control the concurrent editing of source files among multiple authors. CVS allows triggers to enable/log/control various operations and works well over a wide area network. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
An "-n" option to revert the "-N" option was introduced. The command "cvs blame" as an alias to "cvs annotate" was added. A new "IgnoreUnknownConfigKeys" config option was added. Data loss on crashes of heavily loaded systems is now avoided. Locking during import was corrected. A server hang with enabled compression was fixed. Applying diffs when checking out very old revisions was sped up significantly. Several other improvements and bugfixes were made.Image

NAME
cvs-autoreleasedeb - Automatic Release of debian packages from CVS DESCRIPTION
This script generates and uploads the debian package for cvs modules managed by cvs-buildpackage. cvs-autoreleasedeb will maintain a state file of all the packages you want to be automatically published, and every time you commit the debian/changelog file of your package, changing the debian version to a greater value, it will be published. All the parameters to the script are configured in the conffile. There is no command-line switch. See cvs-autoreleasedeb.conf(5) for more information. USING
There are two ways of using this script: 1) Run as user cvs-autoreleasedeb in cron. This is very useful for software houses that want to have the "nightily build" version of the software published automatically. In this case, the config file will be "/etc/cvs-autoreleasedeb.conf" and it will use /var/lib/cvs-autoreleasedeb/ as scratch dir. NOTE: edit /etc/default/cvs-autoreleasedeb to control this behavior NOTE 2: all output will be thrown in /var/log/cvs-autoreleasedeb/run.log 2) Run as yourself, it will automatizate the work you will have if you have your packages in CVS. In this case, the config file will be $HOME/.cvs-autoreleasedeb/conf and the scratch dir will be $HOME/.cvs-autoreleasedeb. cvs-autoreleasedeb will not create defaults, you must have the configuration file created before running cvs-autoreleasedeb. See cvs-autoreleasedeb.conf(5). TODO
- Use a snapshot of the time of the commit in the changelog to checkout the source - Localize the messages. - Work with other than all lowercase in conffile. - Use a better format for conffile. _EXIT CODES _exit codes: 0 = Clean _exit 1 = Config file not found 2 = No packages in config file 3 = Couldn't open the state file 4 = Couldn't open the state file for writing 5 = Couldn't determine architecture SEE ALSO
