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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
