CVS kent source tree control
Starting an initial CVS local repository. The location /scratch/cvsroot/ is merely an example here. You will want this in some location that is backed up. It will be your master copy of your source tree.
$ CVSROOT=/scratch/cvsroot $ export CVSROOT $ cvs -d $CVSROOT init
If you want to modify any characteristics of your cvs system, do a checkout of CVSROOT project and edit the configuration files. Check them in. In particular, see the file: config
... somewhere else, for example /scratch ...
$ cd /scratch $ cvs co CVSROOT
Creates the directory hierarchy /scratch/CVSROOT/ edit any files here, check them in to change your local CVS behavior Usually no changes are required
Importing the kent source tree:
Fetch the kent source tree without expanding the ID keywords, note the -kk argument
$ CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@genome-test.cse.ucsc.edu:/cbse $ export CVSROOT $ cvs login password: genome $ cd /scratch $ cvs co -kk -rbeta kent
creates the directory hierarchy /scratch/kent/
Back to your local CVSROOT
$ CVSROOT=/scratch/cvsroot $ export CVSROOT
go the the above checked out source tree in the directory ./kent/
$ cd /scratch/kent
check what version we are importing
$ cat src/hg/inc/versionInfo.h
using that version number, import this release calling the project jksrc labeling it with the vendor tag JKSRC_DIST and release tag JKSRC_140 These tags are important. The vendor tag will be used next time you import the source tree again.
$ cvs import -m "Import of jksrc v140" jksrc JKSRC_DIST JKSRC_140
No longer need the /scratch/kent/ hierarchy
$ rm -fr /scratch/kent
Now you can check out a local copy of the jksrc tree
... somewhere else, for example /scratch ...
$ cd /scratch $ cvs co jksrc
creates the directory hierarchy /scratch/jksrc/
This source tree is your local copy. Edit as you desire. Check in your own changes. Build your sources here.
The next time you want a kent source update, do the same procedure as above for the import, using the same vendor tag but with a new release tag.
Fetch the kent source tree without expanding the ID keywords:
$ CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@genome-test.cse.ucsc.edu:/cbse $ export CVSROOT $ cvs login password: genome $ cd /scratch $ cvs co -kk -rbeta kent
- creates the directory hierarchy /scratch/kent/
Back to the local CVSROOT
$ CVSROOT=/scratch/cvsroot $ export CVSROOT $ cd /scratch/kent
check what version we are importing
$ cat src/hg/inc/versionInfo.h
using that version number same project name jksrc same vendor tag JKSRC_DIST and new release tag JKSRC_141
$ cvs import -m "Import of jksrc v141" jksrc JKSRC_DIST JKSRC_141
No longer need the /scratch/kent/ hierarchy
$ rm -fr /scratch/kent
update your existing source tree ! AND HANDLE CONFLICTS as usual ! ... in your local working copy of the source tree
$ cd /scratch/jksrc $ cvs -q up > cvsupdate.stdout 2> cvsupdate.stderr
examine the two outputs for conflict messages. Resolve the conflicts and check those files in.
