| <H1 CLASS="Head">Creating a CVS repository location</H1> |
| |
| <P><em>Prerequisite</em>: A CVS server must already be configured on the host machine to create a |
| valid repository location in the Workbench. |
| </P> |
| |
| <P>To create a new repository location: |
| </P> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>Open the CVS Repositories view by selecting <b>Window > Show View > |
| Other...</b> on the main menu bar and then selecting <b>CVS > CVS Repositories</b> |
| from the Show View dialog. Alternatively, the CVS Repositories view is also |
| shown in the CVS Repository Exploring perspective. </li> |
| <li>From the context menu of the CVS Repositories View, select <b>New > Repository |
| Location</b>. The Add CVS Repository wizard opens.</li> |
| <li>Enter the information required to identify and connect to the repository |
| location: |
| <ol type="a"> |
| <li>In the <b> Host </b> field, type the address of the host. (For example: |
| <samp>mymachine.com)</samp>. </li> |
| <li>In the <b> Repository path </b> field, type the path to the repository |
| on the host (for example <samp>/home/repo, d:/repo.)</samp></li> |
| <li>In the <b> User </b> field, type the user name under which you want |
| to connect to the repository. </li> |
| <li>In the <b>Password</b> field, type the password for the above user name.</li> |
| <li> From the <b> Connection Type</b> list, select the authentication protocol |
| of the CVS server. There are three connection methods that come |
| with the Eclipse CVS client: |
| <ul> |
| <li><b>pserver</b> - a CVS specific connection method.</li> |
| <li><b>extssh</b> - an SSH 1.0 client included with Eclipse</li> |
| <li><b>ext</b> - the CVS ext connection method which uses an external |
| tool such as SSH to connect to the repository. The tool used by ext |
| is configured in the <b>Team > CVS > EXT Connection Method</b> |
| preference page. </li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li>If the host uses a custom port, enable <b>Use Port</b> and enter the |
| port number.</li> |
| </ol> |
| </li> |
| <li>(Optional) Select <b>Validate Connection on Finish</b> if you want to |
| authenticate the specified user to the specified host when you close this |
| wizard. (If you do not select this option, the user name will be authenticated |
| later, when you try to access the contents of the repository.)</li> |
| <li> Click <b>Finish</b>. The repository location is created. </li> |
| </ol> |
