These days are busy doing projects, so I haven't come to maintain Blog, which is in the project to introduce some things here:
background
Visual Studio .net everyone knows that CVS also knows that Visusl Studio.NET IDE CVS, have you heard?
It is accustomed to using the source code version of the Visual Studio.net development project to be Visual SourceSafe (hereinafter referred to as VSS), because is Microsoft's products. However, VSS has a weak point: that is the network function, especially the remote network on the Internet, so that for some large-scale system, VSS own databases may be difficult to maintain. I heard that Visual Studio .NET 2005 contains new versions of VSS, I don't know if Microsoft has considered this. Still first, let's talk about it.
Compared with VSS, CVS is mature in this regard. CVS is the abbreviation of Concurrent Versions System, which is a collaborative version system. The version control of many open source software today uses it to support distributed development. It should be a strong term. So the application of Visusl Studio.NET CVS should be able to develop large distributed software.
surroundings
The required software environment:
Development Tools Visual Studio .NET 2002/2003
CVS version control service CVSNT (available from http://www.cvsnt.com/cvspro/)
Visual Studio .NET IDE under CVS Interface Jalindi Igloo
(You can download it from http://www.devhood.com/tools/tool_details.aspx?tool_id=491)
practice
1. Install Visual Studio.net.
2. Install CVSNT, this is the CVS service under Windows, which should be available in Linux.
In general, after installing CVSNT, the Repositories settings will be used to use the CVS service (equivalent to setting the VSS database). Figure 1
Detailed, from the start menu program group found CvsNTàcvsNT Control Panel, point add 1 in the Repositories tag, add a location as shown in Figure 2
After confirming, you can restart it in Service Status.
3. Install Jalindi IGLOO, you can see IGLOO using CVS in the source code management in Visual Studio .NET IDE. Figure 3
4. After installation, you can use the CVS management source code in the IDE environment of Visual Studio. Of course, do some small settings before use: First, add the project file to the source code management, then pop up INGOO settings window, as shown in Figure 4.
It is some settings to connect to the CVS service. You can choose the library created in 2 in the Repository settings, or create a new library by clicking Create. After INGOO will store all source code once. At this time, it will find that there is more small lock before the file in the solution window, and there is also a menu item for source management on the menu. Figure 5
When Visual Studio .NET IDE CVS configuration management is complete, personal feelings use to be similar to Visual Studio .NET IDE VSS, but in essence, due to the use of CVS, you can support larger project development.
