-<H2><A NAME="s12">12. CVS</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.
-<P>
-<P>THIS IS NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED!!! ONLY DO THIS IF YOU HAVE A TEST
-INSTALLATION OR ARE WILLING TO HAVE YOUR CLUSTER CRASH ON YOU!!!
-THIS MUST BE CONSIDERED AT LEAST BETA TESTING AND MAYBE EVEN ALPHA!!
-YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!
-<P>
-<P>DID I MENTION..... ONLY DO THIS IF YOU ARE WILLING TO ACCEPT THE
-CONSEQUENCES!!!
-<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>
-<PRE>
-cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.DXSpider.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/dxspider login
-</PRE>
-<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>If you are installing Spider from CVS then change directory to /home/sysop
-<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>
-<PRE>
-cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.DXSpider.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/dxspider co spider
-</PRE>
-<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>
-<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
-<PRE>
-tar cvfz /tmp/s.tgz spider
-cd /
-tar xvfzp /tmp/s.tgz
-</PRE>
-</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
-<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>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>
-<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
-<PRE>
-cd /spider
-cvs -z3 update -d
-</PRE>
-</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
-<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.
