Acro Developer Resources

CVS

Acro source code was previously maintained in a CVS repository. The following information is maintained for historical reference.

How do I connect to the Acro CVS repository?
The CVS root directory used for Acro is software.sandia.gov:/space/CVS-Acro. The -d cvs option can be used to specify this directory for Acro CVS commands. For example, the following commandline checks out Acro:
```
   cvs -d :ext:@software.sandia.gov:/space/CVS-Acro checkout acro
```
where <user-name> is your account name on software.sandia.gov. As an alternative, you can set the CVSROOT environmental variable in your unix shell instead of using the -d option.
NOTE: on the Sandia SRN network, you will also need to configure CVS to use ssh when connecting to the repository. To do this, set the CVS_RSH environmental variable as follows:
```
   CVS_RSH=ssh
```
NOTE: the cvs.a and ssh.cvs scripts can be used to setup these parameters. For example, the earlier command is simplified to
```
   cvs.a checkout acro
```

What are common CVS commands?
Checking out a working copy:
```
   cvs.a checkout acro
```
Updating edits commited by other developers:
```
   cvs.a update
```
Checking for differences between your edits and what you initially checked out:
```
   cvs.a diff
```
What CVS Modules are available for Acro?
The default CVS module for Acro is acro, which includes all of the Acro projects that are available for general (unlimited) release. Per-project Acro modules are also defined and can be checked out as
```
   cvs.a checkout acro-<package>
```
where <package> is one of the currently available projects described on the Acro project web pages. Note that the package name in the CVS checkout command should be lower case. For example, the command
```
   cvs.a checkout acro-utilib
```
checks out the Acro UTILIB project only.

Note that the acro-<package> modules have acro as the top-level directory, and individual software packages are located in acro/packges. Some Acro projects are available as stand-alone libraries: APPSPACK, OPT++ and UTILIB. Thus, the command
```
   cvs.a checkout utilib
```
only checks out the UTILIB software library, so the top-level directory is utilib.
