Re: CVS command line

The CVS binaries would have to be ported to the iSeries.  I am not aware of
any successful efforts to do so, even via PASE.

I am also not aware of any "pure Java" clients either.  Most of the
Java-related things I have seen for CVS eventually use the binary.  A
notable exception is Eclipse which has done it all in pure Java.  However,
I do not know if it would be possible to pull out what they have done in
something that could be used standalone.

The best bet would probably be to try tackling the port of the C code to
the iSeries.  One other problem is that CVS is commonly used with SSH and
ZLIB and I do not believe either of those have been ported to the iSeries
either.

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,
-Marty
