CVS depot

Creation of a personal CVS depot in your Gel-Gif account

  • Using ssh, connect to cvs.gel.ulaval.ca (gel-gif username and password).
  • Creat a directory in your account that will be root to the CVS depot. For example:

    mkdir depotcvs1

  • Execute the following command to initialize the depot:

    cvs -d /gel/usr/GELGIFUSERNAME/CVSDIRECTORY init

    by replacing the all-caps words with the appropriate value.

    Using the CVS depot

    ACCESS TYPE: ext (ssh)
    SERVER: cvs.gel.ulaval.ca
    USERNAME: your GELGIF login
    PASSWORD: your GELGIF password
    PATH: /gel/usr/GELGIFUSERNAME/CVSDIRECTORY

    Please note that a SSH connection is now used to access the CVS accounts. Thus, the pserver method is no longer available. There will soon be appropriate documentation. It is possible that some SSH clients refuse to remember your password between sessions. It is however possible to create an identification key (secure key pair) in order to access the server without entering the password every time.<\p>

    Finally, if more than one person must access your CVS directory, technical support can creat a group access. A list of usernames is then required.

    On a last note, the CVS server is accessible from outside the campus without using the university VPN.
