CVS info
    (All examples below assume your cvs checkout is in /somewhere/loncapa)Send an e-mail to 
    to make the change to use :ext recursively.
    
    Updating the repository
    To update a repository to have the files marked STABLE do this:
    
    $ cd /somewhere/loncapa
    $ cvs update -d -r STABLE
    
    It is expected that all production machines will be using this.
    
    To change a repository to have the latest (and maybe greatest versions)
    do this:
    
    $ cd /somewhere/loncapa 
    $ cvs update -d -A
    
    It is expected that all developers to be using this.
    
    If you have updated a repository to the Latest (and as it turns out not so
    great) version, doing:
    
    $ cd /somewhere/loncapa 
    $ cvs update -d -r STABLE 
    
    Will take you back to the STABLE version.
    
    A refresher on how to upgrade your machine:
    
    export CVS_RSH=ssh
    export CVSROOT=:ext:USERNAME@source.lon-capa.org:/home/cvs 
    cd loncapa
    cvs update -d -r STABLE
    cd loncom/build
    su
    make install
    make configinstall
    /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
    /etc/rc.d/init.d/loncontrol restart
    
    
    Using a public key
    The downside to using ssh for remote authentication in place of pserver is that you will be prompted to enter your password each time you issue a cvs command.  
    A solution to this is to use
    
    $ ssh-keygen -t dsa
    
    to generate public and private keys in ~/.ssh/
    
    Send the public key (id_dsa.pub) to helpdesk@lon-capa.org so it can be added to the appropriate authorized_keys file on source.lon-capa.org
    
    If you have any problems or questions please contact me.
