Source code control system is a MUST to manage the changes occuring to software project during development. Developers need a complete history of changes to backtrack to previous versions in case of any problems. Since source code is the most vital component of any software project and software development takes a huge amount of time and money, it is very important to spend some time in safe-guarding the source code by using source code control systems like CVS and RCS.
CVS (Concurrent Version Control System) is a powerful tool which allows concurrent development of software by multiple users. It uses RCS underneath and has application layer interface as a wrapper on top RCS.
CVS can record the history of your files (usually, but not always, source code). CVS only stores the differences between versions, instead of every version of every file you've ever created. CVS also keeps a log of who, when and why changes occurred, among other aspects.
CVS is very helpful for managing releases and controlling the concurrent editing of source files among multiple authors. Instead of providing version control for a collection of files in a single directory, CVS provides version control for a hierarchical collection of directories consisting of revision controlled files.
These directories and files can then be combined together to form a software release.
CVS can be used for storing "C", "C++", Java, Perl, HTML and other files.
CVS actually uses RCS underneath. CVS is a lot more powerful tool and can control a complete source code tree. It is very strongly recommended that you use CVS, because you can greatly customize CVS with scripting languages like PERL, korn and bash shells. See the sample korn shell scripts at Shell Scripts .

This document also has shell scripts which provide simple commands to check-out, check-in, commit files. See shell scripts at Shell Scripts
For RCS see the RCS mini-howto on the linux cdrom -
cd /mnt/cdrom/Redhat/RPMS ls -l howto-6.0-*.noarch.rpm rpm -qpl howto-6* | grep -i rcs
See also the RCS shell scripts at rcs_scripts
First you need to install the CVS package, on Redhat linux use
cd /mnt/cdrom/Redhat/RPMS rpm -i rcs*.rpm rpm -i cvs*.rpm To see the list of files installed do - rpm -qpl cvs*.rpm | less
On other flavors of unix, you may need to download the RCS and CVS tar balls and follow README, INSTALL files to setup CVS. Visit http://www.cyclic.com and http://www.loria.fr/~molli/cvs-index.html
The following environment variables need to be setup in /etc/profile - default values required for all users. If not set in /etc/profile, than you should add these to your local profile file /.bash_profile.
export EDITOR=/bin/vi export CVSROOT=/home/cvsroot export CVSREAD=yes
Create a directory to store the source code repository and give read, write access to unix group/user. Also make sure that the directory name of CVSROOT does not contain any blank spaces. For example CVSROOT should not be like '/home/my rootcvs'.
export CVSROOT=/home/cvsroot mkdir $CVSROOT chmod o-rwx $CVSROOT chmod ug+rwx $CVSROOT
chgrp users $CVSROOT
cvs init # Change directory is a must cd $HOME/my_source_code_dir # Must give vendor tag and revision tag cvs import my_source_code_dir V1_0 R1_0
To migrate the existing RCS files to CVS, use the following script. Make sure that you installed korn shell package pdksh*.rpm from Linux contrib cdrom.
NOTE : Korn shell /bin/ksh is obtained by installing pdksh*.rpm from Linux contrib cdrom

cvs provides a rich variety of commands (cvs_command in the Synopsis), each of which often has a wealth of options, to satisfy the many needs of source management in distributed environments. However, you don't have to master every detail to do useful work with cvs; in fact, five commands are sufficient to use (and contribute to) the source repository. The most commonly used CVS commands are checkout, update, add, remove, commit and diff.
cvs checkout modules... A necessary preliminary for most cvs work: creates your private copy of the source for modules (named collections of source; you can also use a path relative to the source repository here). You can work with this copy without interfering with others' work. At least one subdirectory level is always created.
bash$ cvs --help checkout Usage: cvs checkout [-ANPRcflnps] [-r rev | -D date] [-d dir] [-j rev1] [-j rev2] [-k kopt] modules... -A Reset any sticky tags/date/kopts. -N Don't shorten module paths if -d specified. -P Prune empty directories. -R Process directories recursively. -c "cat" the module database. -f Force a head revision match if tag/date not found. -l Local directory only, not recursive -n Do not run module program (if any). -p Check out files to standard output (avoids stickiness). -s Like -c, but include module status. -r rev Check out revision or tag. (implies -P) (is sticky) -D date Check out revisions as of date. (implies -P) (is sticky) -d dir Check out into dir instead of module name. -k kopt Use RCS kopt -k option on checkout. -j rev Merge in changes made between current revision and rev. (Specify the --help global option for a list of other help options)
cvs update Execute this command from within your private source directory when you wish to update your copies of source files from changes that other developers have made to the source in the repository.
bash$ cvs --help update Usage: cvs update [-APdflRp] [-k kopt] [-r rev|-D date] [-j rev] [-I ign] [-W spec] [files...] -A Reset any sticky tags/date/kopts. -P Prune empty directories. -d Build directories, like checkout does. -f Force a head revision match if tag/date not found. -l Local directory only, no recursion. -R Process directories recursively. -p Send updates to standard output (avoids stickiness). -k kopt Use RCS kopt -k option on checkout. -r rev Update using specified revision/tag (is sticky). -D date Set date to update from (is sticky). -j rev Merge in changes made between current revision and rev. -I ign More files to ignore (! to reset). -W spec Wrappers specification line. (Specify the --help global option for a list of other help options)
cvs add file... Use this command to enroll new files in cvs records of your working directory. The files will be added to the repository the next time you run `cvs commit'. Note: You should use the `cvs import' command to bootstrap new sources into the source repository. `cvs add' is only used for new files to an already checked-out module.
bash$ cvs --help add Usage: cvs add [-k rcs-kflag] [-m message] files... -k Use "rcs-kflag" to add the file with the specified kflag. -m Use "message" for the creation log. (Specify the --help global option for a list of other help options)
cvs remove file... Use this command (after erasing any files listed) to declare that you wish to eliminate files from the repository. The removal does not affect others until you run `cvs commit'.
bash$ cvs --help remove Usage: cvs remove [-flR] [files...] -f Delete the file before removing it. -l Process this directory only (not recursive). -R Process directories recursively. (Specify the --help global option for a list of other help options)
cvs commit file... Use this command when you wish to ``publish'' your changes to other developers, by incorporating them in the source repository.
bash$ cvs --help commit Usage: cvs commit [-nRlf] [-m msg | -F logfile] [-r rev] files... -n Do not run the module program (if any). -R Process directories recursively. -l Local directory only (not recursive). -f Force the file to be committed; disables recursion. -F file Read the log message from file. -m msg Log message. -r rev Commit to this branch or trunk revision. (Specify the --help global option for a list of other help options)
cvs diff file... Show differences between files in working directory and source repository, or between two revisions in source repository. (Does not change either reposi tory or working directory.)
bash$ cvs --help diff Usage: cvs diff [-lNR] [rcsdiff-options] [[-r rev1 | -D date1] [-r rev2 | -D date2]] [files...] -l Local directory only, not recursive -R Process directories recursively. -D d1 Diff revision for date against working file. -D d2 Diff rev1/date1 against date2. -N include diffs for added and removed files. -r rev1 Diff revision for rev1 against working file. -r rev2 Diff rev1/date1 against rev2. --ifdef=arg Output diffs in ifdef format. (consult the documentation for your diff program for rcsdiff-options. The most popular is -c for context diffs but there are many more). (Specify the --help global option for a list of other help options)
Emacs is a powerful editor and it supports CVS/RCS - especially for revision merging and comparing. Emacs main site is at http://www.emacs.org.
The following are wrappers around the basic CVS commands. The scripts are written for Korn shell since korn shell is always available on all flavors of unixes, but you can translate to bash or PERL if needed. You can customize these scrips to your taste. They are basically CVS commands but features are added to make it site specific. For example, sedit script provides locking so that users will know some-one is editing the file. Of course users can directly use the CVS commands to by-pass these scripts. These scripts demonstrate how CVS can be customized to a great extent.
NOTE: The wrapper shell scripts assume that the user's home directory as the root and check out the tree from cvs to build the tree underneath user's home directory.
TIP: In shell scripts, every target filename is composed of 3 parts - Home directory, sub-directory and the filename. The full-path is $HOME/$subdir/$fname And in CVS the same directory structure is maintained (by variable $subdir) therefore in cvs there will be something like $CVSROOT/$subdir/$fname. In all scripts, these 4 variables $HOME, $CVSROOT, $subdir and $fname play a important role. For example, sample values can be like HOME=/home/aldev, subdir=myproject/src CVSROOT=/home/cvsroot and fname=foo.cpp
Copy these scripts to /usr/local/bin and this should be in the user's PATH environment.
sdif -r rev1 -r rev2 <filename> To get the diff of your file with CVS. Click sdif
NOTE: sdif has only one 'f' because there is already another unix command called 'sdiff'
For example :
cd $HOME; sfreeze REVISION_1_0 srctree
