CVS Import Wizard: CVS Root
The CVS Root panel of the CVS Import wizard enables you to specify the CVS
root path to the repository which you want to have files imported into.
You access this panel by choosing Team > (CVS >) Import into
Repository from the main menu.
When importing files into a repository, you need to specify the location
of the repository as defined by the CVS root. The following fields
enable you to do so.
- 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 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
-
