Create and set permissions on a subdirectory in the local cvs repository.

[root root]# mkdir /cvsroot/service0
[root root]# chown service0.web /cvsroot/service0
[root root]#
mkdir /cvsroot/service0
chown service0.web /cvsroot/service0

Add the repository location to the user environment.

[root root]# su - service0
[service0 service0]$ emacs .bashrc

Put this string into /home/service0/.bashrc:

export CVSROOT=/cvsroot

[service0 service0]$ exit
logout

[root root]#

Import all files into cvs. In order to work on files with source control, the files must be checked out from cvs. So we will import, move aside, and then check out all of the files. In the cvs import command, service0 refers to the cvs repository to use; it uses the CVSROOT plus this string, i.e. /cvsroot/service0. "OpenACS" is the vendor tag, and "openacs-5-0-4-final" is the release tag. These tags will be useful in upgrading and branching. -m sets the version comment.

[root root]# su - service0
[service0 service0]$ cd /var/lib/aolserver/service0
[service0 service0]$ cvs import -m "initial install" service0 OpenACS openacs-5-0-4-final
N service0/license.txt
N service0/readme.txt
(many lines omitted)
N service0/www/SYSTEM/flush-memoized-statement.tcl

No conflicts created by this import

[service0 service0]$
su - service0
cd /var/lib/aolserver/service0
cvs import -m "initial install" service0 OpenACS openacs-5-0-4-final

Move the original directory to a temporary location, and check out the cvs repository in its place. If the service starts correctly, come back and remove the temporary copy of the uploaded files.

[service0 service0]$ cd ..
[service0 web]$ mv service0 service0.orig
[service0 web]$ cvs checkout service0
cvs checkout: Updating service0
U service0/license.txt
(many lines omitted)
U service0/www/SYSTEM/dbtest.tcl
U service0/www/SYSTEM/flush-memoized-statement.tcl
[service0 web]$ exit
logout

[root web]#
cd ..
mv service0 service0.orig
cvs checkout service0
exit
