-
-<H2><A NAME="ss10.1">10.1</A> <A HREF="adminmanual.html#toc10.1">CVS from a Linux platform</A>
-</H2>
-
-<P>CVS stands for "Concurrent Versions System" and the CVS for DXSpider is held
-at
-<A HREF="http://www.sourceforge.net">Sourceforge</A>. This means
-that it is possible to update your DXSpider installation to the latest
-sources by using a few simple commands. A graphical interface to CVS for
-Windows is explained in the next section.</P>
-
-<P>Please be aware that if you update your system using CVS, it is possible that
-you could be running code that is very beta and not fully tested. There is
-a possibility that it could be unstable.</P>
-
-<P>I am of course assuming that you have a machine with both DXSpider and
-Internet access running.</P>
-
-<P>BEFORE YOU EVEN CONSIDER STARTING WITH THIS MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR
-ENTIRE SPIDER TREE!!</P>
-
-<P>Assuming you are connected to the Internet, you need to login to the
-CVS repository and then update your Spider source. There are several
-steps which are listed below ...</P>
-
-<P>First login as the user <EM>sysop</EM>. Next you need to connect to the CVS
-repository. You do this with the command below ...</P>
-<P>
-<PRE>
-cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.DXSpider.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/dxspider login
-</PRE>
-</P>
-<P>You will get a password prompt. Simply hit return here and your machine should
-return to a normal linux prompt.</P>
-
-<P>What happens next depends on whether you have an existing installation that
-you want to update with the latest and greatest or whether you just want
-to see what is there and/or run it on a new machine for testing.</P>
-<P>If you are installing Spider from CVS then change directory to /home/sysop</P>
-<P>If you are wanting to update Spider then cd to /tmp</P>
-
-<P>The next step will create a brand new 'spider' directory in your current
-directory.</P>
-<P>
-<PRE>
-cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.DXSpider.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/dxspider co spider
-</PRE>
-</P>
-<P>This command is all on one line.</P>
-
-<P>Hopefully your screen should show you downloading files. The -z3 simply compresses
-the download to improve speed.
-When this has finished, you will have exactly the same as if you had untarred a full
-tarball PLUS some extra directories and files that CVS needs to do the magic that
-it does.</P>
-
-<P>Now if you are doing a new installation, that's it. Carry on as if you have
-just downloaded and untarred the lastest tarball.</P>
-
-<P>If you want to upgrade your current installation then do this ...</P>
-<P>
-<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
-<PRE>
-tar cvfz /tmp/s.tgz spider
-cd /
-tar xvfzp /tmp/s.tgz
-</PRE>
-</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
-</P>
-<P>This is assuming you downloaded to the /tmp directory of course.</P>
-
-<P>NOTE: the 'p' on the end of the 'xvfz' is IMPORTANT! It keeps the permissions
-correct. YOU WERE LOGGED IN AS THE USER SYSOP WEREN'T YOU?????</P>
-<P>Remember to recompile the C client (cd /spider/src; make)</P>
-
-<P>At this point the files have been upgraded. You can (usually) restart the cluster
-in your own time. However, if you attempt to use any new commands or features
-expect it to be fatal! At least your cluster will have been restarted then so it
-will be too late to worry about it!</P>
-
-<P>Now the magic part! From now on when you want to update, simply connect to the
-Internet and then, as the user <EM>sysop</EM> ...</P>
-<P>
-<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
-<PRE>
-cd /spider
-cvs -z3 update -d
-</PRE>
-</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
-</P>
-<P>and your files will be updated. As above, remember to recompile the "C" client
-if it has been updated (CVS will tell you) and restart if any of the perl scripts
-have been altered or added, again, CVS will tell you.</P>
-
-<P>You will find any changes documented in the /spider/Changes file.</P>

-<H2><A NAME="ss10.2">10.2</A> <A HREF="adminmanual.html#toc10.2">CVS from a Windows platform</A>
-</H2>
-
-<P>After the initial setup, an update to your DXSpider software is no more than a couple
-of clicks away. This section is intended to explain and illustrate the use of the
-WinCVS application to update your DXSpider software. The current stable version of
-WinCVS is Ver. 1.2. You can get this software at:</P>
-<P>
-<A HREF="http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cvsgui/WinCvs120.zip">http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cvsgui/WinCvs120.zip</A></P>
-<P>Pick your download mirror and then install WinCVS after the download is complete.</P>
-<P>In this next section I have included a series of links to .jpg files to take advantage of the
-picture and 1000 words equivalency. The .jpg files are in the C:\spider\html directory. If
-someone using a Linux system is reading this section from boredom, the files are in
-/home/sysop/spider/html. One aside, a Linux user can also get a copy of gcvs and do your updates
-graphically as opposed to from the command line. The following descriptions are almost identical
-between WinCvs and gcvs. The following screen shots have duplicate links, depending upon whether
-you are viewing this information under the Windows or Linux operating system.</P>
-<P>When WinCVS is installed, running, and you are connected to the internet, the initial screen looks like:</P>
-<P>
-<A HREF="initial.jpg">initial.jpg</A></P>
-<P>If you want, you can also look at these .jpg files with another viewer that might provide some
-better clarity to the image. On the left is the directory tree for your hard disk. Notice that
-the spider directory has a gray highlight.</P>
-<P>To start configuring WinCVS, click on Admin at the top of the screen and then Preferences. This
-should get you:</P>
-<P>
-<A HREF="pref-gen.jpg">pref-gen.jpg</A></P>
-<P>In the top line for CVSROOT, enter:
-<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
-<PRE>
-anonymous@cvs.DXSpider.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/dxspider login
-</PRE>
-</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
-</P>
-<P>and select
-<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
-<PRE>
-"passwd" file on the cvs server
-</PRE>
-</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
-</P>
-<P>for Authentication on the General tab.</P>
-<P>Next, move to the right to the Ports tab.</P>
-<P>
-<A HREF="pref-ports.jpg">pref-ports.jpg</A></P>
-<P>In here, check the box on the second line down for the "pserver" port. Enter a port number of 2401.</P>
-<P>Finally, go to the WinCvs tab all the way to the right.</P>
-<P>
-<A HREF="pref-wincvs.jpg">pref-wincvs.jpg</A></P>
-<P>Enter Notepad as the viewer to open files. For the HOME folder, put "C:\spider" and click OK
-because the configuration is now complete.</P>
-<P>You are now ready to upgrade your copy of DXSpider. Click on the greyed Spider folder
-shown in the directory tree on the left of the WinCVS display. Two things should happen. The Spider
-folder will be selected and the greyed-out arrow located just below the word Query in the top line will
-turn to solid green.</P>
-<P>For anyone using gcvs under Linux, the green arrow is located on the extreme left of the display,
-under the word File. A gcvs screen looks like:</P>
-<P>
-<A HREF="gcvs.jpg">gcvs.jpg</A></P>
-<P>Click on the now green arrow to start the download process. An Update Settings box will be displayed
-to which you can simply say OK.</P>
-<P>
-<A HREF="update-OK.jpg">update-OK.jpg</A></P>
-<P>For future reference, the Update Settings box is the place where you can enter information to revert
-to a prior version of DXSpider. Information on reverting to a Before Date is contained in the WinCVS
-manual.</P>
-<P>After a short period of time, a series of file names will scroll by in the lower pane of the WinCVS
-window. Eventually you should see
-<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
-<PRE>
-*****CVS exited normally with code 0*****
-</PRE>
-</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
-
-appear in the lower pane. You're done. The updated files are in place ready for you to stop and then
-restart your DXSpider. After the restart, you're running with the latest version of DXSpider.</P>
-<P>
-<A HREF="completed.jpg">completed.jpg</A></P>
-<P>To paraphrase from the CVS section... Now the magic part! From now on when you want to update, simply
-connect to the Internet and start WinCVS.
-<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
-<PRE>
-Click on the greyed-out Spider directory in the left screen
-Click on the green down arrow
-Click OK on the Update Settings dialog box
-Restart your Spider software
