.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The CVS service is a DCOP service for accessing and working with
|
|
|
|
remote CVS repositories. Applications may link with this library to
|
|
|
|
access the DCOP service directly from C++. Alternatively, scripts may
|
|
|
|
access the service using the standard
|
|
|
|
.BR dcop (1)
|
|
|
|
command-line tool.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
DCOP is the Desktop Communication Protocol used throughout TDE.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
The CVS DCOP service consists of the following three parts:
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
\fBCvsService\fP
|
|
|
|
The main interface to the functionality of the
|
|
|
|
.BR cvs (1)
|
|
|
|
command line client. There is one method for each CVS command, e.g., add,
|
|
|
|
checkout, commit, etc. The methods assemble the command line
|
|
|
|
arguments, create a CvsJob and return a DCOPRef object for it
|
|
|
|
to the caller. There is one instance of this service for each
|
|
|
|
application instance.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
\fBRepository\fP
|
|
|
|
This DCOPObject manages the configuration data of the current
|
|
|
|
CVS repository. The data is automatically updated when other
|
|
|
|
service instances change it.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
\fBCvsJob\fP
|
|
|
|
This class represents a CVS job. You can execute and cancel it,
|
|
|
|
and you can retrieve the output of the cvs client by either
|
|
|
|
connecting to the proper DCOP signals or by using the output()
|
|
|
|
method. There are two types of jobs. First the non-concurrent
|
|
|
|
job which has to run alone, like cvs update or import. Second
|
|
|
|
the jobs which can run concurrently like cvs log or annotate.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
The CVS service is provided with Cervisia, which is part of the TDE
|
|
|
|
Software Development Kit.
