A typical entry in a Makefile or Makefile.am is: cfvadmin.1: cfvadmin.sgml docbook-to-man $< > $@ The docbook-to-man binary is found in the docbook-to-man package. Please remember that if you create the nroff version in one of the debian/rules file targets (such as build), you will need to include docbook-to-man in your Build-Depends control field. --> Iustin"> Pop"> October 30, 2005"> 1"> iusty@k1024.org"> CFVADMIN"> cfvers"> GNU"> GPL"> ]>

These are the global options to &command; -h, --help Show summary of options. --version Show the version of the program and copyright information. --local Connect directly to the repository, in contrast to connecting through the cfversd server. When selecting this option, you can specify the repository through: --rtype Selects the repository type: either sqlite or postgresql. --rdata The connection info for the repository; this is repository-dependent. For sqlite it is a file name; for postgresql, a string of the form "dbname=mydb user=myuser password=mypw host=...". --remote Connects through a cfversd server. When selecting this option, you can also give the connection details directly in the command line: -s, --server HOSTNAME The name or address of the server. -p, --port PORT The port on which the server is listening. -u, --username USER The username used for authentication to the server Note that unless you put in the configuration file (~/.cfvers) the password for the client and server or in the environment, you will be prompted for them. Here are the brief descriptions of the &command; commands: create Creates a new area in the repository. info Shows informations about the repository, like number of area present, the number of items in each area, etc. init Initialises the repository and create the first area. Warning:This command is destructive, erasing all your versioned information. Be careful! Here are details on all the cfvadmin commands and the options each accepts. create -dDESCRIPTION -pROOTPATH ITEM Creates a new area in the repository. The area name is mandatory and must be given as the first and only argument. Additional properties of the area can be specified using: -dDESCRIPTION - the area description. Defaults to none. -pROOTPATH - the root path of this area. Defaults to /, and could be useful for chroots or individual user backups. Shows informations about the repository. This is an example output: Local repository has 2 area(s) ------------------------- Name: default Created at 2003-10-18 12:42:29 EET Root path: / Description: Default area Revision number: 3 Number of items: 3 ------------------------- ID #2 Name: test Created at 2003-10-18 15:22:02 EET Root path: /home/jdoe Description: test area Revision number: 1 Number of items: 1 init --force --skip-data This command will initialise the selected repository. It will also initialise a default area, named "default", on the local server. To reinitialize an already-existing repository, pass the --force option. This will drop the existing schema first (please ignore any errors which show up in this stage), and afterwards init the repository in the standard way. To skip the area creation, pass the --skip-data option. This will only initialize the repository, without creating the default area, allowing you to create it later with customized properties. There should be a command to modifiy the properties of an area. There should be a command to delete an area (and all the items it contains). cfv 1 , cfvers.conf 5 , cfvers user manual cvs 1 , svn 1 This manual page was written by &dhusername; &dhemail; The manual pages cvs 1 and svn 1 were used as sources of inspiration (and copy-paste in some cases), since these are real versioning programs :-), with proper man pages.
