Java Reference
In-Depth Information
Here is a
.cvswrappers
file that we recommend for Java developers:
#
# A recommended .cvswrappers file
#
# jar files - treat as binary:
*.jar -k 'b'
#
# Image file formats - treat as binary:
*.gif -k 'b'
*.jpg -k 'b'
*.png -k 'b'
*.tif -k 'b'
#
# Document file formats - treat as binary
# both MSOffice and OpenOffice.org file formats:
*.doc -k 'b'
*.ppt -k 'b'
*.xls -k 'b'
*.sx? -k 'b'
The format of the file is very UNIX-like. A leading
#
means that the rest
of the line is a comment. The asterisk matches any number of any characters.
The question mark matches a single character.
Now we're ready to import. The
.cvsignore
file should be placed in the
topmost directory of the set of files that you want to import. Then, from that
directory, issue the command:
$ cvs import
Project YourCo
import
where
Project
is whatever name you want to use for this project (or
module
)
in CVS, and
YourCo
is the name of your company or some other designator
to differentiate this source from other third-party packages that you may keep
in your repository.
Most importantly, execute the
cvs import
command from within the
directory, even though the name of the project is likely (but doesn't have to be)
the same as the name of the directory in which you sit.
For example, consider a fragment of the filesystem shown in Figure 8.1.
You would want to
cd
into
the directory
coolj
and then issue the
import
command:
$ cd coolj
$ cvs import coolj GJSinc import
