CVS

Step 1)

In your home directory edit the file named .profile.  After the lines that define PATH and PS1, add two new lines that read:
CVSROOT=":local:/home/robocup/cvsroot"
CVSEDITOR="pico" (or vi)

To use SSH for CVS (for example from a home machine) add the new lines:
CVSROOT=":ext:<username>@hiddink.cs.virginia.edu:/home/robocup/cvsroot CVSEDITOR="pico" (or vi)
CVS_RSH="ssh"
where <username>is your CS account username.

 

Step 2)

Next, scroll down to the line that looks similar to export PS1 PATH and set it to export CVSROOT and CVS_RSH. The new text will look like the following.
export PS1 PATH CVSROOT CVSEDITOR

If you're using ssh add the variable CVS_RSH to the above command.

 

Step 3)

At the prompt type: source ~/.profile

 

Step 4)

To get the UVARoboCup code type: cvs checkout uvarobocup and enter your cs account username and password.

TortoiseCVS is a good program for using CVS in windows.
