Objective Real-Time Software on the ADSP21XX

Concurrent Versions System

Note:

The CD now contains 2 versions of CVS namely standard CVS and WinCVS, a recompile of CVS with a GUI front end. WinCVS is considerably easier to use than the standard version and works well, it is completely compatible with standard CVS.

Enjoy!

Up to this point, one of the weakest parts of CVS has been the documentation. CVS is a complex program. Previous versions of the manual were written in the manual page format, which is not really well suited for such a complex program.

When writing this manual, I had several goals in mind:

No knowledge of RCS should be necessary.

No previous knowledge of revision control software should be necessary. All terms, such as revision numbers, revision trees and merging are explained as they are introduced.

The manual should concentrate on the things CVS users want to do, instead of what the CVS commands can do. The first part of this manual leads you through things you might want to do while doing development, and introduces the relevant CVS commands as they are needed.

Information should be easy to find. In the reference manual in the appendices almost all information about every CVS command is gathered together. There is also an extensive index, and a lot of cross references.

This manual was contributed by Signum Support AB in Sweden. Signum is yet another in the growing list of companies that support free software. You are free to copy both this manual and the CVS program. See section GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE for the details. Signum Support offers support contracts and binary distribution for many programs, such as CVS, GNU Emacs, the GNU C compiler and others. Write to us for more information.
