CVS is nothing but source version control. CVS can be used for most of
the operating systems. Once installed as server it tracks all your
sources in the directory you specified ( or projects inside WSAD ),
keeps an history and you can version it.

To keep simple the repository where you will put all your sources will
be up-to-date and once you decide that you wont have anychanges you can
version it and make it stable. Then changes after that will be in
repository and then back to versioning and the cycle goes on. If you
happen to use apache or tomcat you can see stable, nightly builds and
all source-forge projects work in this manner.

An alternate to CVS is Rational Clear Case LT which comes with WSAD 5 ..

Again to give you these links which is already posted
"
Start here http://www.cvshome.org for relevent information regarding CVS
use although I have NEVER found the information particularly clear.

You might try a simple test or two using an anonymous connection to
retrieve the latest code from somewhere like
http://www.iseries-toolkit.org (hosted via http://www.sourceforge.net ).
They will give you some instruction on how to do this in the "Anon CVS"
link under downloads on the left of the site."

And there are gurus there to tell you more..

Subject: CVS command line


The recent CVS discussion got me wondering.

What must be installed to allow CVS commands to be issued from OS/400
qshell command line, like you can do from a UNIX system? We have some
product creation routines (shell scripts and Perl) that were built for
UNIX and must be deployed on OS/400. These scripts do a variety of CVS
commands. For the most part, I have the scripts working except for the
CVS part. I am not at all familiar with CVS, so sorry I can't be more
specific on what they do. Suffice it to say I would like my 400 to act
like UNIX. The CVS repository is on UNIX and will remain there. I only
need "client" functionality to access that repository.

Thanks,
