These tools are also required to +build NetInfo for Linux and our commerial software. The following scripts +are included in CVSTools: + +checkpoint +Based on Apple's checkpoint program, this creates Perl program the +CVSVersionInfo.txt file for a work area (when invoked with -create). To +checkpoint (i.e. increment the version number and create a CVS tag) type +checkpoint with no arguments, or with the new version number as an +argument. + +cvslib.pl +Common library functions used by some of these scripts for getting the +repository and project names. One can override CVSVersionInfo.txt +location with the CVSVERSIONDIR environment variable, which is useful for +nested source trees where one wishes to pull in the top level version info +for the project name, and the current directory name for the program. + +tarup +Executes cvs export and then creates a tarball in +~/dist/project-version.tar.gz. + +vers_string +Equivalent of OS X's /usr/bin/vers_string, instead using +CVSVersionInfo.txt the repository and project names. |
