The

CVS code management system.

CVS version control system.
You will need a local copy of
CVS (Concurrent Version Control System), which you can get from
- (the official site with the latest version) or any GNU software
- archive site (often somewhat outdated). We recommend version 1.10
- or newer. Many systems have a recent version of
+ site with the latest version) or any GNU software archive site

cvs installed by default.
You should only need to do this once, since the password will be

- Some older versions of
CVS have a bug that
- causes all checked-out files to be stored world-writable in your
- directory. If you see that this has happened, you can do something like
-chmod -R go-w pgsql
-
- to set the permissions properly.
- This bug is fixed as of

CVS can do a lot of other things,

PostgreSQL sources

Installing <productname>CVSup</productname>
-
-
CVSup is available as source, pre-built
- binaries, or Linux RPMs. It is far easier to use a binary than to
- build from source, primarily because the very capable, but
- voluminous, Modula-3 compiler is required for the build.
-
-
-
<productname>CVSup</productname> Installation from Binaries
-
- You can use pre-built binaries
- if you have a platform for which binaries
- are posted on the
PostgreSQL- ftp site
- or if you are running FreeBSD, for which
-
CVSup is available as a port.
-
-
-
CVSup was originally developed as a
- tool for distributing the
FreeBSD- source tree. It is available as a port
, and for those running
- FreeBSD, if this is not sufficient to tell how to obtain and
- install it then please contribute a procedure here.
-
-
-
-
- At the time of writing, binaries are available for
- Alpha/Tru64, ix86/xBSD,
- HPPA/HP-UX 10.20, MIPS/IRIX,
- ix86/linux-libc5, ix86/linux-glibc,
- Sparc/Solaris, and Sparc/SunOS.
-
-
-
- Retrieve the binary tar file for
- (
cvsupd is not required
- to be a client) appropriate for your platform.
-
-
-
-
- If you are running FreeBSD, install the
CVSup port.
-
-
-
-
- If you have another platform, check for and download the appropriate binary from
- ftp site.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Check the tar file to verify the contents and directory
- structure, if any. For the linux tar file at least, the static binary
- and man page is included without any directory packaging.
-
-
-
-
- If the binary is in the top level of the tar file, then simply
- unpack the tar file into your target directory:
-
-cd /usr/local/bin
-tar zxvf /usr/local/src/cvsup-16.0-linux-i386.tar.gz
-mv cvsup.1 ../doc/man/man1/
-
-
-
-
-
- If there is a directory structure in the tar file, then unpack
- the tar file within /usr/local/src and move the binaries into
- the appropriate location as above.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Ensure that the new binaries are in your path.
-
-$ rehash
-$ which cvsup
-$ set path=(path to cvsup $path)
-$ which cvsup
-/usr/local/bin/cvsup

Installation from Sources
-
- Installing
CVSup from sources is not
- entirely trivial, primarily because most systems will need to
- install a Modula-3 compiler first.
- This compiler is available as Linux
RPM,
- FreeBSD package, or source code.
-
-
- A clean-source installation of Modula-3 takes roughly 200MB of disk space,
- which shrinks to roughly 50MB of space when the sources are removed.
-
-
-
-
Linux installation
-
-
- Install Modula-3.

-
- Polytechnique Montréal
- who are actively maintaining the code base originally developed by
- DEC Systems Research Center.
- The
PM3 RPM distribution is roughly
- 30MB compressed. At the time of writing, the 1.1.10-1 release
- installed cleanly on RH-5.2, whereas the 1.1.11-1 release is
- apparently built for another release (RH-6.0?) and does not run on RH-5.2.
-
-
- This particular rpm packaging has
- so you will likely want to place them into a separate
- directory.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Install the Modula-3 RPMs:
-
-# rpm -Uvh pm3*.rpm
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Unpack the cvsup distribution:
-
-# cd /usr/local/src
-# tar zxf cvsup-16.0.tar.gz
-
-
-
-
-
- Build the cvsup distribution, suppressing the GUI interface
- feature to avoid requiring X11 libraries:
-
-# make M3FLAGS="-DNOGUI"
-
-
- and if you want to build a static binary to move to systems
- that may not have Modula-3 installed, try:
-
-# make M3FLAGS="-DNOGUI -DSTATIC"
-
-
-
-
-
- Install the built binary:
-
-# make M3FLAGS="-DNOGUI -DSTATIC" install
-
