Using CVS within Project Builder
Authored by: weird_ed on Apr 19, '03 08:07:43AM
Some more info on this:

* If you want to use CVS in Project Builder on an existing project, you have to check in the project builder project files (projectname.pbproj/) to the repository!

* If you use SSH to access the CVS server, take a look at this link for info on passwordless CVS access through SSH.

Using CVS within Project Builder
Authored by: fca on Sep 11, '03 09:46:02AM

Hello everybody,
project builder works nicely with CVS indeed, however there is a small trick to play. After you created your project (say in ~/project/fca.pbproj) just do

cd ~/project/fca.pbproj
mkdir CVS
cd CVS
touch Root

close the project (alt-action-W) and reopen it. CVS functions will not be dimmed any more. By definition if you check in and out the project directory it will work, but it is a bit radical. I have two large trees of files which sit on different parts of my filesystem with different CVS root, the project files sit again somewhere else. With this little trick (apparently undocumented) everything seems to work. Regards,
