CVS Checkout Wizard: CVS Root
See Also
The CVS Root panel of the CVS Checkout wizard enables you to specify the CVS
root path for your CVS repository when checking out files from the repository.
You access this panel by choosing Team > (CVS >) Checkout from the main menu.
When checking out files from a repository, you need to specify the location of the
repository as defined by the CVS root.
The following parameters can be specified:
- CVS root. Select a CVS root type and
location from the drop-down list. The drop-down list contains a list of previous
CVS root locations used in the IDE. If no CVS root locations are provided from
the drop-down list, you need to supply the CVS root type. You can enter the
information directly into the text field, or click the Edit button to open the
Edit CVS Root dialog box.
- Password. Enter the password for the user to access the
repository.
- Proxy configuration. Click the Proxy configuration button to
specify details of your proxy configuration to connect to the CVS repository.
The IDE directly supports the following CVS root types:
- pserver. For connecting to pserver repositories.
:pserver:username@hostname:/repository_path
- ext. For connecting to CVS repositories using SSH, etc.
:ext:username@hostname:/repository_path
The following root types require an external CVS executable:
- fork. For protocol access to local CVS repository
:fork:/repository_path
- local. For direct access to local CVS repository
:local:/repository_path
