Version Control management with CVS - Part 1
|
Conclusion
You should now have to knowledge to login, check out and update projects from a CVS repository. These are the only things you need to know if you're only interested in using other peoples projects. For instance it allows you to download bleeding edge versions of your favorite programs, no need to wait for the next binary release. You can also help a developer find bug reports in the very latest version, this is much appreciated by most, if not all, developers.
Look out for the next part where we'll go into the details of committing changes, creating patches and learn the secrets of version numbers. For those of you who simply cannot wait I recommend you either check out the man pages for CVS, read it's PostScript version (usually located in /usr/doc/), the online manual or the PDF document.
