Source code control

The Diva code and documentation is under CVS control. This page lists CVS commands that we use in Diva. It assumes that you have CVS correctly configured for use with the Diva repository and that you understand the Diva directory structure.

This page is still being developed.

Adding files and directories

Adding a directory

To add a new directory to Diva, make sure that you are in the directory's parent ($DIVA in this example), and type

  cd $DIVA
  cvs add foo
  cvs commit foo

Adding a file

To add a new text file to Diva, make sure that you are in the file's parent directory, and type

  cvs add bar.baz
  cvs commit bar.baz

To add a new binary file to Diva, make sure that you are in the file's parent directory, and type

  cvs add -kb foo.gif
  cvs commit foo.gif

Importing a directory

To import an existing directory into Diva, make sure that you are in that directory and use the import command:

  cd $DIVA/foo
  cvs import -m "Imported" diva/foo diva start

If the imported directory contains any binary files at all, you need to tell CVS:

  cd $DIVA/foo
  cvs import -m "Imported" -I ! -W "*.gif -k 'b'" diva/foo diva start

where the suffixes of all the binary files are in the quoted argument -- in this case it matches all bgGIF files. (I don't even know why this works -- it is an example on page 116 of the CVS manual.)
