Acquiring a CVS Account
The CRBS CVS repository is available to all CRBS participants. If you do not already have an account, you can request one by emailing support_at_crbs.ucsd.edu.
Please include the following information with your request:
- Full Name
- Email address
- Desired username
- List of CRBS projects you are affiliated with and/or a list of CVS modules you require access to
Using CVS
Once you have an account, you can access the CRBS CVS repository with the following connection parameters:
CVSROOT=username@cvs.crbs.ucsd.edu:/CVSROOT CVS_RSH=ssh
Module names are either upper or lower case, upper case modules are controlled by the CVS administrators, and as a normal user you cannot add new directories or files at that level. Lower case modules or subdirectories are under user control, meaning that you are free to add content as needed for your project.
