Assembling a CVS Root String
CVS root strings are specified in the CVS Root text box of the CVS Roots dialog box.
The CVS Root string syntax is:
[:method:][[user][:password]@]hostname[:[port]]/path/to/repository
.
You can obtain the valid string from your system administrator, or assemble the CVS root parameters into a correct string manually, or use the Edit by Field functionality, as described below.
To assemble the CVS Root parameters
- In the CVS Roots dialog box, click the Edit by Field button next to the CVS Root text box. The Configure CVS Root Field by Field dialog box opens.
- Choose the connection method and specify the user name, port, host, and repository. See the Configure CVS Root Field by Field dialog box reference for details.
- Click OK. The dialog box closes and you return to the CVS Roots dialog box. The CVS Root text box displays the specified parameters assembled in a valid string.
