CVS on Mac OSX

To download the CVS repository from Sourceforge, the CVS tool to use is MacCVSClient X.

I wouldn't recommend using MacCVSClient X now. It's impossible to commit fla files without getting them corrupted (or even zip files!). And the other Mac tool, MacCvsX, does not work together with sourceforge, or I haven't found out how. I'll stick to the command line.

Using Terminal

• Install CVS with the XCode tools (on the Tiger DVD).
• Open a Terminal window and type:

export CVS_RSH="ssh"

cvs checkout asapframework

You will get an anonymous checkout. An anonymous checkout is not always up to date (delay may be several hours to several days).

Developers

To do a checkout:

cvs -z3 -d:ext:developername@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/asapframework co -P asapframework

To be able to update and commit changes, you must install a public and private key, see Guide to Generation and Posting of SSH Keys.

Once you have created a public/private key, type in a terminal window:

ssh developername@cvs.sourceforge.net

Once again:

ssh developername@cvs.sourceforge.net

To set up CVS:

sudo mkdir /usr/local/cvsrep
sudo chmod g+w /usr/local/cvsrep
export CVSROOT=/usr/local/cvsrep
sudo cvs init

Then do the update in your asapframework directory:

cvs update
