Installing CVSup server and CVSUP-client:

Background: CVSup is a tool that replicates multiple CVS repositories including the version information of the CVS files. CVSup requires modula-3 for compiling the and building.

First let us see how to install modula-3

Installing modula-3:

1) Download files ezm3-1.0-LINUXLIBC6-boot.tar.bz2 and

ezm3-1.0-src.tar.bz2 from

http://www.polstra.com/projects/freeware/ezm3/

2) Unpack the two files. This will create directory \"ezm3-1.0\"

containing all of the source files.

3) Run command “ cd ezm3-1.0”.

4) Run gmake. (This step assumes that the application GNU make is

already installed on the system. This will come by default with RH Linux

7.1)

5) Step (4) will take approximately around 10 minutes. This is enough

to install modula-3.

Installing CVSup server:

1) Download cvsup-16.1.tar.gz from http://www.polstra.com/projects/

2) Untar the sources: Run “gunzip cvsup-16.1.tar.gz” And then “tar

–xvf cvsup-16.1.tar”.

3) Run make.

4) Run make install. This will install both the CVSup Server and CVSup

Client.
