| <h1>Specifying a repository location</h1> |
| <p class="Head">You must specify an available repository before it is possible to share the project with others.</p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Open the CVS Repository Exploring perspective. The top left view shows all of the CVS repositories that are |
| currently being worked with. As you can see, the view is empty, meaning a repository still needs to be |
| specified.<br> |
| <br></li> |
| <li>In the context menu of the CVS Repositories view choose <b>New > Repository Location</b>. |
| <p><img border="0" alt="CVS Repositories view" src="../images/Image82_repo_new.png"></p> |
| </li> |
| <li>In the CVS Repository Location wizard, the location of the repository and the login information needs to be |
| filled in. You may need assistance from a repository administrator in order to fill in the necessary information. |

| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p class="Para">In the <b>Host</b> field, type the address of the host (for example, "teamsamples.com").<br> |
| <br></p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p class="Para">In the <b>Repository path</b> field, type the path for the repository at the host address (for |
| example, "/home/cvsroot/repositoryName").<br> |
| <br></p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p class="Para">In the <b>User</b> field, type the user name under which to connect.<br> |
| <br></p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p class="Para">In the <b>Password</b> field, type the password.<br> |
| <br></p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p class="Para">In the <b>Connection type</b> field, select the type of CVS connection for the repository (The |
| default is pserver).<br> |
| <br></p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p class="Para">Leave <b>Use Default Port</b> enabled.<br> |
| <br></p> |
| </li> |
| <li>By default the <b>Validate Connection on Finish</b> option is checked.<br> |
| <br></li> |
| <li> |
| <p class="Para">Click <b>Finish</b> when done.</p> |
| <p class="Para">Since <b>Validate location on finish</b> was checked, the wizard will now attempt to validate the |
| information by connecting to the repository. In doing so it may prompt for a password. <strong>Note:</strong> The |
| repository connection is only used to validate the information.<br> |
| <br></p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p class="Para">Observe that the CVS Repositories view now shows the new repository location.</p> |
