| + | ====== Installing SmartCVS ====== | ||
| + | SmartCVS is a commercial cross-platform CVS application written in Java. It is the best CVS client I've found for Linux. I use it, even though it's a commercial product, because I need a good CVS client in order to get work done. You can download SmartCVS from http://www.syntevo.com/smartcvs/. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Prerequisites ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | You'll need a fairly recent version of the Sun JRE, so install that first. | ||
| + | |||

| + | |||
| + | ===== Instructions ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Download the generic SmartCVS archive for Linux. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Move to the directory where you would like to install it, such as /etc. | ||
| + | |||
| + | cd /etc | ||
| + | |||
| + | Extract the file. | ||
| + | |||
| + | sudo tar xvf /<path>/smartcvs-generic-<version>.tar.gz | ||
| + | |||
| + | Change to the bin directory. | ||
| + | |||
| + | cd smartcvs-<version>/bin | ||
| + | |||
| + | Edit the smartcvs.sh file | ||
| + | |||
| + | sudo vim smartcvs.sh | ||
| + | |||
| + | Change the JAVA_HOME line to point to your Sun JRE directory. | ||
| + | |||
| + | JAVA_HOME=/etc/jre1.6.0_03/ | ||
| + | |||
| + | Optionally, create a symbolic link to smartcvs.sh in /usr/bin. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ln -s /etc/smartcvs-<version>/bin/smartcvs.sh /usr/bin/smartcvs | ||
| + | |||
| + | Now, you can just execute //smartcvs// or the smartcvs.sh file. | ||
