- NOTE: this port is still in progress and should not be considered a
- finished product. Use at your own risk.

- This is a port of the CVS client (1.6.5 ) to MacOS.
-
- 1. Setup
-
- In order to use this, you must be willing to consider the Macintosh
- a trusted host to the UN*X box where the CVS 1.6.3 server resides.
- This is a really dumb thing to do if you have any security concerns.
- I don't, so I can live with the problem.
-
- For the following example, "twinpeaks" is the repository host, and
- "cicily" is the Macintosh client. "maggie" is the login account on
- twinpeaks
-
- * 'twinpeaks' must have a login account which trusts 'cicily'. For
- me this is 'maggie', and 'maggie' has a .rhosts file that contains
- the line 'cicily joel'.
-
- * 'cicily' must have the Sharing Setup control panel configured
- to have "Owner Name" set to "joel" and "Macintosh Name" set to
- 'cicily'.
-
- * 'cicily' must have the 'services' file (included) located in
- the "Preferences" folder. You must rename this file to be
- 'sys/services'.
-
-
- 2. Usage
-
- Well, the interface is about as ugly as it could be. When you launch
- MacCVS, it allows you to enter the command line and redirect the
- output of CVS to the screen or to a file. If you send it to the screen,
- you can choose to save it to a file when you quit.
-
- I've been keeping the basic command line
- ("-d maggie@twinpeaks:/projects/repository/eM2") in the Mac Note
- Pad, and just cut-n-pasting it into MacCVS, then adding the command
- -specific ("checkout commonFiles") stuff manually.
-
- On "checkin" or "commit" operations, use the '-m <log message>'
- command line option.
-
- Due to the strange way it is implemented in CVS, the 'release'
- command does not work. Tell me if fixing this should be a priority.
-
- To change the file type and creator of files that MacCVS creates, you
- need ResEdit 2.1.3. Edit the MacCVS file, and open the GUZ(sp)I resource
- and make the changes you want.
-
-
- 3. Building MacCVS
-
- I have included the the two MacCVS project files as a binhex stuffit
- archive ('maccvs.projects.sit.hqx'). You will also have to extract the
- MacCVS resource file (maccvs.rsrc.sit.hqx).
-
- **** Note for the intrim release (pre- cvs baseline integration): You must apply
- **** the maccvs-165.patch file to the base cvs 1.6.5 distribution with GNU patch.
- **** Hopefully this patch will be applied and part of the base distribution soon,
- **** it has not yet been accepted by the cvs maintainers.
-
- If you are building MacCVS for an Open Transport system, you will need to
- work around a problem between OT and GUSI:
-
- Open the project file for GUSI (GUSI.PPC.╡). In the file "GUSITCP.cp", find the ~TCPSocket (destructor) method. Change the line:
-
- pb->csCode = TCPClose;
- to:
- pb->csCode = TCPAbort;
-
- Recompile GUSI.
-
- You may also have to fiddle with the access paths. I have a "Projects" folder,
- where I have the cvs-x.y.z folder and the CWGUSI folder.
-
-
- 4. Feedback
-
- Please tell me how this works for you (criticism, praise, flames, etc.).
- Any ideas for improvements, stuff for the 'README.MacOS' file, or
- anything else would be appreciated.

- 5. Pre mainstream distribution MacCVS History
-
- Wed Jan 10 11:40:32 1995 Mike Ladwig <mike@twinpeaks.prc.com>
-
- * CVS Code base updated to cvs-1.6.5 1/8/95 snapshot
-
- Fri Dec 27 14:20:12 1995 Mike Ladwig <mike@twinpeaks.prc.com>
-
- * Cleanup of rcmd code, removing inappropriate tests
- * CVS Code base updated to cvs-1.6.3 12/27/95 snapshot
- * Again fixed(?) binary/text file handling.
- * OT problem traced to GUSI - OT bug. Corresponding with Matthias.
-
- Fri Dec 08 12:39:22 1995 Mike Ladwig <mike@twinpeaks.prc.com>
-
- * Fixed problem with 'stat' emulation
- * Used better GUSI resource template so file type/creator was available
-
- Thurs Dec 07 16:13:09 1995 Mike Ladwig <mike@twinpeaks.prc.com>
-
- * Port cleanup for inclusion into main cvs distribution
- * Fixed(?) binary file handling
- * Better SIOUX feedback
- * Updates only via whole files (no '-u' to update)
-
- Wed Nov 29 09:33:16 1995 Mike Ladwig <mike@twinpeaks.prc.com>
-
- * Initial port of CVS 1.6.1 snapshot 11/14/95
- * Requires CW GUSI 1.6.4 and CodeWarrier 7
- * 68k version is essentially untested, due to lack of a 68k machine
- * 'release' doesn't work, due to cvs implementation approach
- * Tons of obvious "TODOs", but at least the heavy stuff is done
