Test Panel

The Test panel is used to test the connection with a CVS server. The purpose of this panel is to reduce the complexity of the connection test and provide detailed feedback on the protocol to help debug problems connecting to a CVS server. If you are having difficulty connecting to your CVS server, you should attempt to connect using this panel, since it will give you feedback in the text area on how the protocol progressed.

Access Method and Login

Like all of the panels that allow you to access the CVS server, the top of the panel describes the access and login information. This common access and login input area determines how you access the server. You will need to get the information from the CVS system administrator.

Checkout Parameters

The checkout command requires a number of parameters to properly check out the source that you require. These parameters are specified in the text fields below the login area. These fields are detailed in the following table.
CVS Server This is the hostname of the CVS server.
CVS Repository This is the full path name of the repository you wish to access. The path is the root of the cvs repository.
