Update documentation on may/can/might:
Standard English uses "may", "can", and "might" in different ways:
may - permission, "You may borrow my rake."
can - ability, "I can lift that log."
might - possibility, "It might rain today."
Unfortunately, in conversational English, their use is often mixed, as
in, "You may use this variable to do X", when in fact, "can" is a better
choice. Similarly, "It may crash" is better stated, "It might crash".
Also update two error messages mentioned in the documenation to match.

The command <command>cvs checkout</command> has a flag, <option>-r</option>,
|
|
|
|
that lets you check out a
|
|
|
|
certain revision of a module. This flag makes it easy to, for example,
|
|
|
|
retrieve the
|
|
|
|
sources that make up release 6_4 of the module `tc' at any time in the
|
|
|
|
future:
|
|
|
|
|
2005-11-05 00:14:02 +01:00
|
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
|
|
cvs checkout -r REL6_4 tc

|
|
</programlisting>
|
2001-01-20 05:16:55 +01:00
|
|
|
|

|
This is useful, for instance, if someone claims that there is a bug in
|
|
|
|
that release, but you cannot find the bug in the current working copy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<tip>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
|
|
You can also check out a module as it was at any given date using the
|
|
|
|
<option>-D</option> option.

When you tag more than one file with the same tag you can think
|
2006-10-23 20:10:32 +02:00
|
|
|
about the tag as <quote>a curve drawn through a matrix of file name vs.
|
2001-09-13 17:55:24 +02:00
|
|
|
revision number</quote>. Say we have 5 files with the following revisions:
|
2002-10-20 22:58:02 +02:00

So, to create the 6.4 release
|
|
|
|
I did the following:
|
|
|
|
|
2005-11-05 00:14:02 +01:00
|
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|

cd pgsql
|
|
|
|
cvs tag -b REL6_4
|
|
|
|
</programlisting>
|
2001-01-20 05:16:55 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
which will create the tag and the branch for the RELEASE tree.

For those with <productname>CVS</productname> access, it's simple to
|
|
|
|
create directories for different versions.
|
|
|
|
First, create two subdirectories, RELEASE and CURRENT, so that you don't
|
|
|
|
mix up the two. Then do:
|
|
|
|
|
2005-11-05 00:14:02 +01:00
|
|
|
<programlisting>
|
2001-01-20 05:16:55 +01:00
|
|
|
cd RELEASE
|
|
|
|
cvs checkout -P -r REL6_4 pgsql
|
|
|
|
cd ../CURRENT
|
|
|
|
cvs checkout -P pgsql
|
2005-11-05 00:14:02 +01:00
|
|
|
</programlisting>
|
2001-01-20 05:16:55 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
which results in two directory trees, <filename>RELEASE/pgsql</filename> and
|
|
|
|
<filename>CURRENT/pgsql</filename>. From that point on,
|
|
|
|
<productname>CVS</productname>
|
|
|
|
will keep track of which repository branch is in which directory tree, and will
|
|
|
|
allow independent updates of either tree.
|
|
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
|
|
If you are <emphasis>only</emphasis> working on the <literal>CURRENT</literal>
|
|
|
|
source tree, you just do
|
|
|
|
everything as before we started tagging release branches.
|
|
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
|
|
After you've done the initial checkout on a branch
|
|
|
|
|
2005-11-05 00:14:02 +01:00
|
|
|

2001-01-20 05:16:55 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
anything you do within that directory structure is restricted to that
|
|
|
|
branch. If you apply a patch to that directory structure and do a

An alternative to using anonymous CVS for retrieving

2001-11-21 06:53:41 +01:00
|
|
|
the <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> source tree

is <productname>CVSup</productname>.

<productname>CVSup</productname> was developed by

A major advantage to using
|
|
|
|
<productname>CVSup</productname> is that it can reliably
|
|
|
|
replicate the <emphasis>entire</emphasis> CVS repository on your local system,
|
2006-10-23 20:10:32 +02:00
|
|
|
allowing fast local access to <command>cvs</> operations such as <option>log</option>
|
1999-05-22 04:27:25 +02:00
|
|
|
and <option>diff</option>. Other advantages include fast synchronization to
|
2001-11-21 06:53:41 +01:00
|
|
|
the <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> server due to an efficient
|
1999-05-22 04:27:25 +02:00
|
|
|
streaming transfer protocol which only sends the changes since the last update.

<productname>CVS</productname> repository. On one of our systems we

recently set up a repository in <filename>/home/cvs/</filename>,

If you specify <option>repository</> instead of <option>pgsql</>
|
|
|
|
in the above setup, you will get a complete copy of the entire
|
|
|
|
repository at cvsup.postgresql.org, including its
|
|
|
|
<filename>CVSROOT</filename> directory. If you do that, you will
|
|
|
|
probably want to exclude those files in that directory that you
|
|
|
|
want to modify locally, using a refuse file. For example, for the
|
|
|
|
above setup you might put this in
|
|
|
|
<filename>/home/cvs/sup/repository/refuse</>:
