You need to get an account on cvs first!

To get the remote-rpm programs and/or the current SPECs we use, you will need to check these files out of Subversion.

Check out the files

The scripts used to easily build the package on the various platforms (build servers) is located in the remote-rpm Subversion module. The most recent version of the RPM SPEC files are in the SPECS Subversion module. To check either of these out,

svn checkout svn+ssh://username@cvs.rutgers.edu/usr/local/svnroot/trunk/remote-rpm remote-rpm

svn co svn+ssh://username@cvs.rutgers.edu/usr/local/svnroot/trunk/SPECS SPECS

(co is short for checkout, interchangable)

Commit changes

When you make updates or add new SPEC files to the SPECS directory, be sure to update the Subversion server as well. You should execute: (SPECS should be your CWD)

svn add filename

if adding a file. This queues the file to be added.

Then run

svn commit

This will update modified files and add any new ones marked earlier. An editor will pop up (env. variable EDITOR) for you to describe the changes made to the files for a Subversion changelog.
