41: Anonymous CVS is a method of keeping your local copy of the OpenBSD source
42: tree up to date with respect to changes made to current OpenBSD sources.
1.109 jason 43: In addition to following the bleeding edge of development, it is
44: also possible to track the patches for errata of a release.
1.99 ericj 45: </p>
46:
1.14 downsj 47: <p>
1.15 grr 48: The major advantage of Anonymous CVS over other source code update
49: techniques is that it works directly against a central source code
50: repository or mirror. This means that you have the full set of CVS
51: commands available to control merging and updating your changes with
1.154 jsyn 52: other source changes and for performing diffs, change histories
1.15 grr 53: and other queries against the central repository.
1.99 ericj 54: </p>
55:
1.36 deraadt 56: <p>
1.135 naddy 57: The OpenBSD Project currently has five main source repositories:
1.99 ericj 58: </p>
59:
60: <ul>
1.140 horacio 61: <li><b>src</b> - Houses all source code for the OpenBSD Operating System.</li>
62: <li><b>ports</b> - Houses the <a href="./ports.html">OpenBSD Ports</a>.</li>
63: <li><b>www</b> - Houses all OpenBSD web pages. (Including this one).</li>
1.135 naddy 64: <li><b>X11</b> - Houses OpenBSD's adaptation of the
65: <a href="http://www.XFree86.org/">XFree86-3</a> software project.</li>
66: <li><b>XF4</b> - Houses OpenBSD's adaptation of the

1.100 ericj 70: <p>
71: To summarize, the real strength of using Anonymous CVS is that it is
72: a "tolerant" source code control system - it <strong>respects</strong>
73: changes that you have made to your local sources and makes <strong>
74: "best efforts"</strong> to update your entire source tree, rather than
75: leaving you a list of arcane problems that have to be resolved before
76: continuing.

1.135 naddy 82: <a href="why-cvs.html">
1.36 deraadt 83: CVS is the source code control system used to manage the OpenBSD source tree.</a>
1.16 deraadt 84: It implements a central repository for all officially released source code
1.15 grr 85: and changes, while permitting developers to maintain local copies of the
1.99 ericj 86: source code with their working changes. Developers with "<b>write access</b>"
1.15 grr 87: can commit changes directly to the OpenBSD source tree, while "Anonymous
1.155 jsyn 88: CVS" users have "<b>read access</b>" and can keep their local copies of the
89: source up to date and issue queries against the central depository.
1.99 ericj 90: </p>
91:
1.15 grr 92: <p>
1.22 niklas 93: The major strength of CVS is that it has the ability to perform intelligent
1.15 grr 94: merges of changes to the central repository with changes that you make to
95: your local copy. This means that if you make a change to a module and
96: perform an update, your changes are not "blown away", rather CVS makes
97: best efforts to merge the changes made to the central sources with changes
98: you've made to your local copy.
1.99 ericj 99: </p>
100:
1.15 grr 101: <p>
102: In the event that the changes can't be completely merged, CVS provides a
103: "soft fallback", in terms of providing you with annotated changes to your
1.39 todd 104: local copy, preserving an unmodified copy of your version and continuing
1.15 grr 105: to update any other source modules you requested.

1.140 horacio 113: <a href="http://www.cvshome.org/">Cyclic</a>.
1.100 ericj 114: Versions earlier than 1.6 are not recommended, and may not work.

1.99 ericj 119: People who own an OpenBSD CD may have seen the <i>CVS/</i> dirs on it.
1.155 jsyn 120: Actually there is a reason, the CD has a checkout of the OpenBSD <b>src</b>
121: module usable to continue updating from. Using this tree will result in a much
1.23 mickey 122: faster initial CVS update than a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD
123: source tree. There are two ways of using the CD:
1.99 ericj 124: </p>
125:
1.23 mickey 126: <ul>
1.155 jsyn 127: <li>To copy the CVS tree from the CD to <i>/usr/src</i> (assuming the CD is
128: mounted on /mnt):
1.22 niklas 129: <pre>
1.99 ericj 130: # <b>cd /mnt; pax -rw CVS Makefile [a-z]* /usr/src</b>
1.22 niklas 131: </pre>
1.155 jsyn 132: <li>Use a union mount (see <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=mount_union&apropos=0&sektion=8&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&format=html">mount_union(8)</a>)
133: with the CD below a writable directory. (This can be used when only compiling from the tree.)
1.22 niklas 134: <pre>
1.99 ericj 135: # <b>mount -t union -o -b /mnt /usr/src</b>
1.22 niklas 136: </pre>
1.23 mickey 137: </ul>
1.100 ericj 138:
139: <p>
1.155 jsyn 140: For people who don't have a CD on hand, you can use <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&format=html">
141: cvs(1)</a> to "<b>checkout</b>" the source repository for you. This is
142: discussed in the <a href="#using">next section</a>.
1.100 ericj 143: </p>
144:
145: <p>
1.155 jsyn 146: After this, <i>/usr/src</i> will be a nice checkout area where all
147: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&format=html">
148: cvs(1)</a> commands will work OK.

152: source tree</font></a></h3>
1.100 ericj 153:
154: <p>
1.109 jason 155: CVS was designed to be a simple way to retrieve and update your sources,
156: therefore there isn't much involved at all in doing so. You must first
157: decide whether you want to track <i>current</i> or a patch branch.
1.112 kjell 158: The current tree has all of the up to the minute changes,
1.109 jason 159: whereas a patch branch contains a formal release plus the patches
160: from the <a href="errata.html">errata</a> already applied.
161:
162: <p>Once you have decided which tree to follow, you much choose which Anonymous
163: CVS server you are going to use. A list of these servers is
1.135 naddy 164: <a href="#CVSROOT">below</a>. Do, however, notice that there are three ways
1.109 jason 165: to access these servers.
1.100 ericj 166: </p>
1.99 ericj 167:
1.135 naddy 168: <dl>
1.155 jsyn 169: <dt><b>ssh</b><dd>Secure Shell can be used to access the anonymous CVS servers.
170: This is the <em>recommended</em> way of doing so, as it is encrypted. As of
171: 2.6, OpenBSD has included OpenSSH in its standard distribution.
172: <dt><b>rsh</b><dd>Remote Shell can be used on some of the servers for users
173: who don't have access to <a href="http://www.openssh.com/">ssh</a>.
174: <dt><b>pserver</b><dd>pserver is primarily useful for users who are behind
175: firewalls that block the other two connections.
1.135 naddy 176: </dl>
1.100 ericj 177:
178: <p>
1.155 jsyn 179: <b>NOTE:</b> For users wishing to use ssh, you must first set the
180: <var>CVS_RSH</var> variable to ssh.
1.100 ericj 181:
182: <ul>
1.135 naddy 183: <li>For Korn/Bourne shells:
1.100 ericj 184: <pre>
1.135 naddy 185: $ <b>export CVS_RSH=/usr/bin/ssh</b>
1.100 ericj 186: </pre>
1.135 naddy 187: <li>For csh/tcsh:
1.100 ericj 188: <pre>
1.135 naddy 189: % <b>setenv CVS_RSH /usr/bin/ssh</b>
1.100 ericj 190: </pre>
191: </ul>
192:
193: <p>
1.155 jsyn 194: Once you have chosen which <a href="#CVSROOT">Anonymous CVS Server</a> you will
195: use, and which method you will use, you can start using cvs. For those of you
196: who have CDs you can start with the CVS checkout that is on the CD by using
197: the method <a href="#starting">above</a> to get the sources onto your system.
198: If you don't have a CD handy, use the method below to checkout the sources.
199: This method puts the OpenBSD source tree into <i>/usr/src</i>.
1.100 ericj 200: </p>

1.99 ericj 205:
1.1 deraadt 206: <p>
1.109 jason 207: The above will checkout the <i>current</i> source tree. Many of you will
208: only want a patch branch sources. To checkout a patch branch, you must
209: specify a tag along with your command. Example:
1.100 ericj 210: </p>
1.1 deraadt 211:
1.135 naddy 212: <pre>
1.150 jufi 213: # <b>cd /usr; cvs checkout -P -rOPENBSD_2_9 src</b>
1.135 naddy 214: </pre>
1.1 deraadt 215: <p>
1.150 jufi 216: Or OPENBSD_2_8 for 2.8, etc.
1.100 ericj 217:
1.150 jufi 218: <p> Currently only the OPENBSD_2_9 tag contains the release sources and

641: Either copy or use a union mount to get the X11 sources in <i>/usr/X11</i>:
642:
