Annotation of OpenXM_contrib/pari/CVS.DOC, Revision 1.1.1.1

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/
                     54:   Makefile.O<OS>-<arch>
                     55:   Makefile.O<OS>-<arch>.dbg
                     56:   Makefile.O<OS>-<arch>.prf
                     57:   examples/Makefile.<OS>-<arch>
                     58:   doc/Makefile
                     59:   doc/gphelp
                     60:   doc/paricfg.tex
                     61:   doc/*.[aux | dvi | idx | log | ps | std | toc]
                     62:   emacs/pari.el
                     63:
                     64: After a global 'cvs diff', or 'cvs status', you can safely ignore all
                     65: messages pertaining to them (e.g "? doc/Makefile").
