Committing Changes to CVS

In my last post I set up CVS so I could upload my Sguil scripts. I decided I would document how I make changes to those scripts and commit them to CVS.

First I needed to check out a copy of the scripts. I made a dev directory and will now use that for all future development.

richard@macmini:~$ export CVS_RSH=ssh
richard@macmini:~$ mkdir dev
richard@macmini:~$ cd dev
richard@macmini:~/dev$ cvs -z3 \
> -d:ext:taosecurity@taosecurity.cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/taosecurity checkout -P \
> taosecurity_sguil_scripts

cvs checkout: Updating taosecurity_sguil_scripts
U taosecurity_sguil_scripts/README
U taosecurity_sguil_scripts/sancp
U taosecurity_sguil_scripts/sguil_client_install.sh
U taosecurity_sguil_scripts/sguil_database_install_pt1.sh
U taosecurity_sguil_scripts/sguil_database_install_pt2.sh
U taosecurity_sguil_scripts/sguil_sensor_install.sh
U taosecurity_sguil_scripts/sguil_sensor_install_patch.sh
U taosecurity_sguil_scripts/sguil_server_install.sh
U taosecurity_sguil_scripts/sguild_adduser.sh
U taosecurity_sguil_scripts/snort
U taosecurity_sguil_scripts/snort_src_install.sh
richard@macmini:~/dev$ cd taosecurity_sguil_scripts/
richard@macmini:~/dev/taosecurity_sguil_scripts$ ls
CVS                      sguild_adduser.sh              sguil_sensor_install.sh
README                   sguil_database_install_pt1.sh  sguil_server_install.sh
sancp                    sguil_database_install_pt2.sh  snort
sguil_client_install.sh  sguil_sensor_install_patch.sh  snort_src_install.sh

With the scripts checked out I edit the 'snort' script and commit it.

richard@macmini:~/dev/taosecurity_sguil_scripts$ cvs commit -m \
> "Update for Snort 2.6.1.2." snort
taosecurity@taosecurity.cvs.sf.net's password: 
Checking in snort;
/cvsroot/taosecurity/taosecurity_sguil_scripts/snort,v  <--  snort
new revision: 1.2; previous revision: 1.1
done

When done I realize I need to change two other scripts, so I change them and commit them at the same time.

richard@macmini:~/dev/taosecurity_sguil_scripts$ cvs commit -m \
> "Update for Snort 2.6.1.3." snort_src_install.sh README

That's it. The changes are visible immediately via Web-based CVS.
