Export Panel

The Export Panel is what you use to export a module from a CVS Server to a local disk. Export is typically used to create a release that will be imported by another CVS site. It is also used to export the source files for a specific release build.

Access Method and Login

Like all of the panels that allow you to access the CVS server, the top of the panel describes the access and login information. This common access and login input area determines how you access the server. You will need to get the information from the CVS system administrator.

Export Parameters

The export command requires a number of parameters to properly export the files that you require. These parameters are specified in the text fields below the login area. These fields are detailed in the following table.
Name Description
CVS Module This is the path name that identifies the CVS module that you wish to export from the server. This can be either a module alias, or a pathname to an actual module.
CVS Server This is the hostname of the CVS server.
CVS Repository This is the full path name of the repository you wish to access. The path is the root of the cvs repository.
Export Directory This is the full pathname of the local export directory. The exported out files will be written to this directory. If the directory does not exist, it will be created after you confirm.
Arguments Place any arguments for the CVS export command in this field. You must specify at least a '-r rev' or '-D date' argument, which is required by the export command.
