How do I set up a CVS repository and access it from Eclipse and the isCOBOL IDE?

I'd like to set up a CVS repository and access it from Eclipse/isCOBOL IDE to use the Team development and project sharing features. Can you point me in the right direction?

Answer:

To set up a CVS repository on Ubuntu Linux I followed the instructions at:
https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/server/C/cvs-server.html

and used the following for reference:
http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/

There is a Wikipedia article at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_Versions_System

You can read the HTML version of "Version Management with CVS by Per Cederqvist et al" athttp://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/cvs-1.12.13/cvs.html

And the PDF version is at http://ftp.gnu.org/non-gnu/cvs/source/feature/1.12.13/cederqvist-1.12.13.pdf

Here are the actual commands I ran on Ubuntu Linux:

sudo apt-get install cvs

				sudo apt-get install xinetd 

				mkdir /usr/local/cvsroot

				chgrp cvsusers /usr/local/cvsroot

				chmod g+w /usr/local/cvsroot

				cvs -d /usr/local/cvsroot init

				export CVSEDITOR=vi

				export CVSROOT=/usr/local/cvsroot

I had a directory named test_project with some files in it so I ran:

cvs import test_project initial start

And to set up the client/server functionality I edited the cvspserver file:

sudo vi /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver

and added the following lines:


				service cvspserver
{
     port = 2401
     socket_type = stream
     protocol = tcp
     user = root
     wait = no
     type = UNLISTED
     server = /usr/bin/cvs
     server_args = -f --allow-root /usr/local/cvsroot pserver
     disable = no
}

Then I restarted the xinetd daemon:

sudo /etc/init.d/xinetd stop

				sudo /etc/init.d/xinetd start

On Windows:

set CVSROOT=:pserver:bagside@bagvapp:/usr/local/cvsroot

				cvs login 

				cvs co test_project

In the isCOBOL IDE and/or Eclipse:

Open the "CVS Repository Exploring" Perspective
Right-click and add a new CVS Repository
Put the following in the Host field:

:pserver:bagside@bagvapp:/usr/local/cvsroot

The above assumes that you have created a group called "cvsusers" and you have added each of the users to this group. If you already have a "devel" group with the correct users then you could change "cvsusers" to "devel" in the above commands.
