question regarding cvs checkout.

Posted:30 Jan 2009 (20:41 UTC)
Hello all,

I have a question regarding using CVS to upgrade. My first question is which version of Bitweaver is current? I see there is a 2.5.0 that was supposed to go to sourceforge last week. Did that version also make it to CVS repos?

Second, do upgrades have to be incremental between non-major releases? I'm running 2.0.0 right now. Do I need to go to 2.1.0 before going to 2.5.0. (for that matter, why the jump from 2.1.0 to 2.5.0? just curious)

Finally, I have a question about using CVS. Let's say I have three BW installs in my root directory. Call them Main, Beta1, and Beta2. I was trying to upgrade Beta1 using cvs, so I changed directories into /beta1/ and ran the command from the GetCode page:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@bitweaver.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bitweaver co bitweaver


but that just creates a directory in beta1 called bitweaver. (ie: /beta1/bitweaver)
instead of updating the files in beta1. I'm sure I'm missing something. (I'm new to cvs) Can someone help me out on this?

Thanks.

Create a CVSROOT entry for each for each version and instead of having your CVS software use the default directory, tell it to make (matches each versions name) on your harddrive.

Then from the root of the drive (e.g., C:\) do a CVS checkout for whichever version you want.
