Use of CVS for the LHCb Online Code Repository

The LHCb Online code repository is based on CVS (Code Versioning System) tool. The distribution for Linux can be obtained from cvshome.org. In Windows NT/2000/XP you can use the WinCVS version.

The LHCb Code Repository resides on the CERN/IT CVS server

from Linux  (at CERN)
CVSROOT = :kserver:isscvs.cern.ch:/local/reps/lhcbonline

from Windows users must use the SSH authorization (see  here for details):
CVSROOT=:ext:isscvs.cern.ch:/local/reps/lhcbonline
CVS_RSH=C:\Program Files\PuTTY\plink

Information about a lot of access methods (in particular also from outside CERN) can be found on the CERN/IT cvs pages. In the documentation just always replace the last part of the path by lhcbonline
