HOWTO Access Samba source code via CVS

Introduction

Samba is developed in an open environnment. Developers use CVS +(Concurrent Versioning System) to "checkin" (also known as +"commit") new source code. Samba's various CVS branches can +be accessed via anonymouns CVS using the instructions +detailed in this chapter.

This document is a modified version of the instructions found at +http://samba.org/samba/cvs.html

CVS Access to samba.org

The machine samba.org runs a publicly accessible CVS +repository for access to the source code of several packages, +including samba, rsync and jitterbug. There are two main ways of +accessing the CVS server on this host.

Access via CVSweb

You can access the source code via your +favourite WWW browser. This allows you to access the contents of +individual files in the repository and also to look at the revision +history and commit logs of individual files. You can also ask for a diff +listing between any two versions on the repository.

Use the URL : http://samba.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb

Access via cvs

You can also access the source code via a +normal cvs client. This gives you much more control over you can +do with the repository and allows you to checkout whole source trees +and keep them uptodate via normal cvs commands. This is the +preferred method of access if you are a developer and not +just a casual browser.

To download the latest cvs source code, point your +browser at the URL : http://www.cyclic.com/. +and click on the 'How to get cvs' link. CVS is free software under +the GNU GPL (as is Samba). Note that there are several graphical CVS clients +which provide a graphical interface to the sometimes mundane CVS commands. +Links to theses clients are also available from http://www.cyclic.com.

To gain access via anonymous cvs use the following steps. +For this example it is assumed that you want a copy of the +samba source code. For the other source code repositories +on this system just substitute the correct package name

  1. Install a recent copy of cvs. All you really need is a + copy of the cvs client binary. +

  2. Run the command +

    cvs -d :pserver:cvs@samba.org:/cvsroot login +

    When it asks you for a password type cvs. +

  3. Run the command +

    cvs -d :pserver:cvs@samba.org:/cvsroot co samba +

    This will create a directory called samba containing the + latest samba source code (i.e. the HEAD tagged cvs branch). This + currently corresponds to the 3.0 development tree. +

    CVS branches other HEAD can be obtained by using the -r + and defining a tag name. A list of branch tag names can be found on the + "Development" page of the samba web site. A common request is to obtain the + latest 2.2 release code. This could be done by using the following command. +

    cvs -d :pserver:cvs@samba.org:/cvsroot co -r SAMBA_2_2 samba +

  4. Whenever you want to merge in the latest code changes use + the following command from within the samba directory: +

    cvs update -d -P +
