Chapter 17. Access Samba source code via CVS

17.1. Introduction

Samba is developed in an open environment. Developers use CVS -(Concurrent Versioning System) to "checkin" (also known as -"commit") new source code. Samba's various CVS branches can -be accessed via anonymous 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

17.2. 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.

17.2.1. 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

17.2.2. 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 up to date 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 -
