Adding Programs and Directories to a Repository

Add programs and directories to repository from the Linux command line on, say, white, gwyn or sepia.

  1. Change INTO the directory you wish to add. E.g., if you wish to add pdc/Applications, then cd to 'pdc/Applications'.
  2. Use the cvs 'import' command:
    cvs -d /biac1/wandell/src/CVS import -m 'Importing module' [REPOSITORY] [VENDOR TAG] [RELEASE TAG]
    
    Replace [REPOSITORY] with the name that you'd like this module to get assigned in the archive. You will typically use the same name as the directory that you are importing. You also need to include the top-level repository (PDC or VISTASOFT). Thus, in our example above, we would use 'PDC/Applications'. The [VENDOR TAG] should be the repository- e.g. 'PDC' or 'VISTASOFT' and the [RELEASE TAG] doesn't really matter. Use something like 'start'. Thus, the full example would be:
    cvs -d /biac1/wandell/src/CVS import -m 'Importing module' PDC/Aplications PDC start
