Difference between project, module and repository?

Sorry for this newbie question. I read some pages about CVS but it does not
become clear: What is the difference between the terms repository, module and project? From what I expect/know so far I connect (and login) to ONE repository. When I browse this repository then there can by multiple projects inside. Each of the projects is represented by an own folder on the top level (root) directory. A module can be a part of a project. So a module is a sub.set of a project. Is this view correct? Peter ------------------------------------ Yahoo!

Hi Peter,

Well, this depends on your interpretation. Basically, the repository structure simply contains directories. Usually, "modules" are defined in the CVSROOT/modules file in the repository to glue different directories together. You now can name a "module" or "directory structure" as a project. From SmartCVS perspective, a project means a checked out CVS working copy which can be opened in SmartCVS, with all its settings. With that in mind, the menu item "Project|Create Module" is somewhat misleading, because it does create a directory in the repository so you can add files from a previously unversioned local directory structure. Unfortunately, naming it "Import Into Repository" as in SmartSVN (SVN does not know "modules") also would be misleading, because the CVS-import command makes something slightly different. -- Best regards, Thomas Singer ============= syntevo GmbH http://www.syntevo.com "pxsteiner" <pxsteiner@...> wrote: > Sorry for this newbie question.
