 ====== CVS Repository ====== ====== CVS Repository ======
  
-Synchronet [[source|source code]] and some third-party [[dependencies]] are stored in a version control database (repository) using a ubiquitous software system called [[wp>Concurrent_Versions_System|CVS]]. +**NOTE:** The Synchronet project has switched from the use of CVS to [[dev:Git]] as of August 2020.\\ 
- +The old CVS repository was imported into the Git repository, with history, and is **no longer available via CVS** (or cvsWeb).
-Anonymous access, for current source code or previous releases by label, is available to the following repositories:  +
-  * ''cvs.synchro.net:/cvsroot/sbbs'' +
-  * ''cvs-mirror.synchro.net:/cvsroot/sbbs'' +
-  +
-Required modules for building Synchronet:  +
-  * ''src-sbbs3'' (alias for several modules)  +
-  * One of the following module aliases (for required third-party libraries):  +
-    * ''lib-win32'' (for Windows) +
-    * ''lib'' (for all other supported platforms) +
-  +
-Required modules for running Synchronet (if you don't already have Synchronet installed):  +
-  * ''run-sbbs3'' (alias for several modules)  +
-  +
-Example labels (for checking-out a specific release):  +
-  * ''sbbs300c''  +
-  * ''sbbs310k''  +
-  * ''sbbs314a'' +
-  * ''sbbs315a'' +
-  * ''sbbs316c'' +
-  * ''sbbs317b'' +
- +
-NOTE: If you really want to build an old release, you'll probably have better luck downloading a source archive (e.g. ''ssrc314a.zip'' or ''ssrc314a.tgz'') from ftp://vert.synchro.net/ and building that instead as some deprecated files may have been removed from the CVS repository since. +
- +
-==== Examples ==== +
-  +
-CVS command-line example (for non-Windows OSes):  +
-  cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.synchro.net:/cvsroot/sbbs co src-sbbs3 lib +
- +
-CVS command-line example (for Windows):  +
-  cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.synchro.net:/cvsroot/sbbs co src-sbbs3 lib-win32 +
- +
-==== Login ==== +
- +
-If you have not already done so, you will need to login to the CVS repository at least once (the ''install/GNUmakefile'' for logs-in for you when installing on *nix [[install:nix#using CVS]]): +
- +
-  cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.synchro.net:/cvsroot/sbbs login +
- +
-==== Changes ==== +
-  +
-In October of 2011, the ''/lib'' and ''/include'' modules in the Synchronet CVS repository were deprecated (and removed on October 26th) and a new top level module (''/3rdp'') was introduced which includes pre-built third-party libraries and header files for Win32 builds and source archives (e.g. tarballs) and build files for *nix builds. +
- +
-The ''lib'' and ''lib-win32'' module aliases actually refer to sub-directories of the ''/3rdp'' module. +
- +
-==== Updating ==== +
- +
-To update your Synchronet source code and 3rd party library files from CVS, execute from the parent of your Synchronet ''src'' directory (e.g. ''/sbbs'') on *nix:  +
-  cvs checkout -A src-sbbs3 lib +
-   +
-on Windows:  +
-  cvs checkout -A src-sbbs3 lib-win32 +
- +
-To update your Synchronet executable script and module files from CVS, after backing-up your exec directory, execute from your Synchronet directory (e.g. ''/sbbs''):  +
-  cvs update -d -A exec +
-   +
-For full instructions on updating Synchronet run-time files from CVS, see [[install:dev#run-time_files]]. +
- +
-==== Checking Status ====  +
- +
-To get a list of locally-modified files (in the current working directory), run a //dummy checkout// with the command: +
-  cvs -qn update +
- +
-Example: +
-<code> +
-$ cvs -qn update +
-U ftpsrvr.c +
-M jsexec.c +
-cvs update: warning: `smbutil.c' was lost +
-U smbutil.c +
-M xtrn.cpp +
-</code> +
-In this example, the file ''ftpsrvr.c'' was modified, but contains no changes, the file ''smbutil.c'' was removed, and the files ''jsexec.c'', ''smbutil.c'', and ''xtrn.cpp'' have local changes that will be merged (the ''M'' status) with a normal ''cvs update''. +
- +
-A normal ''cvs update'' (without the ''-qn'' option) will merge up-stream changes (changes made by others in the repository) into your local files, but its possible those changes may conflict with your local changes (if there are any) in which case the file status will be displayed as ''C'' and those merge-conflicts must be resolved using an editor (or the local file deleted and checked-out again from the repository). +
- +
-For a detailed status of all the CVS-tracked files in the current working directory, use the ''cvs status'' command. +
- +
-An alternative method to get a list of locally-modified files (in the current working directory) is to perform a comparison (diff): +
-  cvs diff --brief+
