IMPORTANT: In order to save yourself a lot of typing, every terminal session you do with CVS should start with:

export CVS_RSH=/usr/bin/ssh

or if the terminal keeps complaining "Please use the `-d' option or set the CVSROOT environment variable" you might try:

export CVSROOT=:ext:myusername@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/jamoma

Common tasks

Change directory:

cd "/Library/Application Support/Cycling '74/Jamoma"

Note: All of the following examples assume that you have changed directory to the Jamoma folder.

The examples are shown with and without the -d option:

cvs -d :ext:myusername@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/jamoma

Checkout:

cvs -d :ext:myusername@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/jamoma checkout Jamoma

Update:

cvs update
cvs -d :ext:myusername@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/jamoma update

If you have been changing one or more files, for instance the jmod.limi~.mod module, you might want to "commit" the changed file:

cvs commit -m "Explanation of what has been changed" modules/jmod.limi~.mod
cvs -d :ext:myusername@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/jamoma commit -m "Explanation of what has been changed" modules/jmod.limi~.mod

To add a new file, you first have to "add", and then commit:

cvs add filename

cvs commit -m "description" filename

If you want to compare the project as it currently is at your local disc with the CVS repository, you can "diff":

cvs diff

If you want to diff a single file only, that's possible:

cvs diff filename

Release

cvs -d :ext:myusername@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/jamoma release -d Jamoma

Remove a file from the project:

cvs remove filename

That's it so far...
