+ !! Obtaining a CVS account |
+ You need a CVS account in order to access the files in any of the CVS repositories. You can get one for read-only access by simply sending an email request to pmc@ecoinformatics.org. Include in your request the following information: |
+ *Full name |
+ *Email address |
+ *Institution |
+ *Which projects are you interested in |
+ |
+ |
+ !! Choosing a CVS client application |
+ CVS client applications are available for Linux, Windows, MacOS, and other systems. Here is a list of commonly used CVS clients and Integrated Development Environments that support CVS. |
+ *Windows: [TortoiseCVS|http://tortoisecvs.org], [Eclipse|http://eclipse.org], [WinCVS|http://wincvs.org] |
+ *Linux: cvs command line, [Eclipse|http://eclipse.org] |
+ *MacOS: cvs command line |
+ |
+ !! CVS configuration details |
+ Once you have a client program installed, you'll need to configure it to connect. We only permit connections that communicate over the SSH protocol version 2, so you'll need to have a recent SSH client installed and configured. Under linux, this is usually provided in the 'openssh' package, which also can be obtained under Windows using Cygwin. |
+ |
+ For most clients, you will need the following configuration information: |
+ *CVSROOT=:ext:username@cvs.ecoinformatics.org:/cvs |
+ *CVS_RSH=ssh |
+ *module=seek (or kepler or others depending on interest) |
