Annotation of OpenXM_contrib/pari/CVS.DOC, Revision 1.1

1.1     ! maekawa     1: This file documents access to the CVS server, which is intended for PARI
        !             2: developers or [alpha|beta]-testers who want the very latest bleeding edge
        !             3: release. The CVS sources are guaranteed to compile cleanly and to pass the
        !             4: bench suite on (one of) the administrator(s)'s machine(s), that's all. They
        !             5: may otherwise contain severe bugs. Stable releases will be made available
        !             6: on a regular basis using the customary method (a message to pari-announce).
        !             7:
        !             8:
        !             9: First connection to the anonymous CVS server:
        !            10:
        !            11:   cvs -d :pserver:cvs@megrez.math.u-bordeaux.fr:/home/megrez/cvsroot login
        !            12:   Hit return when asked for a password
        !            13:
        !            14:   cvs -d :pserver:cvs@megrez.math.u-bordeaux.fr:/home/megrez/cvsroot checkout pari
        !            15:
        !            16: This last command will create a local copy of the distribution from the
        !            17: repository (directory 'pari'). From now on, you can 'cd' to this pari
        !            18: directory and use any cvs command without the -d argument, as long as you
        !            19: remain there (or in a subdirectory). Password won't be required again. You
        !            20: can also build pari in the usual way (see INSTALL). You can update your
        !            21: local copy at any time using 'cvs update', which will put you in synch with
        !            22: the repository.
        !            23:
        !            24: If you modify your local copy, you won't be able to commit your changes
        !            25: using anonymous access. Use
        !            26:
        !            27:   'cvs diff'     [with flag -c if your local diff supports it]
        !            28:
        !            29: Then send the output to the pari-dev mailing list with a short description
        !            30: of what you've done [or to pari@math.u-bordeaux.fr if you're not subscribed
        !            31: to pari-dev].
        !            32:
        !            33: If you plan to do that on a regular basis (which would be nice :-), send a
        !            34: note to pari-dev, telling what kind of development work you're interested in,
        !            35: and ask for the rights to modify the repository directly. Once this is
        !            36: granted, you'll be able to log in as 'cvsadmin' (the CVS administrator)
        !            37: instead of 'cvs' (CVS user) as described above and you'll be able to use 'cvs
        !            38: commit' directly.
        !            39:
        !            40:
        !            41: NOTES:
        !            42: 1) you can speed up file transfers by using cvs -z9 (transfer files in
        !            43: compressed format), e.g 'cvs -z9 update' if you've missed a lot of patches,
        !            44: or 'cvs -z9 checkout' for the initial checkout. This requires that GNU gzip
        !            45: be in your path.
        !            46:
        !            47: 2) once you've run Configure, some files/directory will be created in the
        !            48: local copy which are not under CVS control (only the master files are).
        !            49: These are
        !            50:
        !            51:   O<OS>-<arch>/
        !            52:   O<OS>-<arch>.dbg/
        !            53:   O<OS>-<arch>.prf/

        !            63:
        !            64: After a global 'cvs diff', or 'cvs status', you can safely ignore all
        !            65: messages pertaining to them (e.g "? doc/Makefile").
