DoscCVS

The Overall Picture

The DoscCVS system will allow us to store projects in a coherent lump on our servers. Once we have CVS running smoothly, we can encourage other people to start projects and host them on our system.

Where can I learn more about CVS?

Check out the Concurrent Versions System page. You should be able to find links to a lot of good information there.

What's the DOSC setup like?

We don't have our server running yet, but we're planning to have a basic CVS back-end with a secondary web-based GUI. This will make it easier for people to browse or get certain files out of the repository.

We're considering using the Horde Project's ChoraCVS Viewer? as the "pretty" GUI front-end to CVS. That should probably be up in the next week or two.

How can I get privileges on the CVS repository?

Whoa, cowboy! Anyone can get anonymous login? to retrieve source from CVS, but we don't just let anyone have commit powers to the respository. If you're interested in running a project, or would like to contribute to a project already in existance, please get in contact with us (see Dosc About for ways to do that).
