This requires you to have a CVS
account with Chess, and you should make sure
that you read the appropriate FAQs.
The below information is standard for all Chess website, and has links to FAQs
at the bottom. Instead of using these textual commands, you can also use the
TortoiseCVS program.
To edit these pages, you need to check them out. This makes
a local copy on your machine (laptop, workstation, or whatever).
You edit the local copy, and then commit the changes.
CVS supports concurrent editing, and will attempt to merge
the changes of multiple authors. When conflicts occur, it
tells you upon commiting the changes.
- The command to check out this website is:
cvs -d :ext:source.eecs.berkeley.edu:/home/cvs_chess co escher
enter your password
This will create a directory "escher" with a subdirectory "web"
with at least one file, "index.html".
After this directory is created,
you never need to do this again.
-
Next time you want to edit files
on the website, just go to this escher directory and type:
cvs update -d -P
enter your password
It will update your local copies of the files.
-
You can edit the index.html file, or any other file in the directory.
-
You can add a new file or directory by putting it in the same directory and
doing:
cvs add filename.html (if it's a text file)
cvs add -kb filename.doc (for example, if it's a binary file)
It's critical to remember the -kb for binary files (Word, PDF, etc.),
or else CVS corrupts the file.
-
To commit your changes do
cvs commit -m "explanation of changes"
enter your password
-
Once you have committed the changes, you can make them visible
on the website by going to the website and clicking on "CVS update"
at the bottom of any page.
