MI dampers CVS area CVS is a source

MI dampers CVS area • CVS is a source code management system, in widespread use in HEP and elsewhere – http: //www. cvshome. org/ • Makes it easy to track code changes vs time – You don’t have to archive a whole directory tree of files every time you change a few lines – You can attach name tags to important versions of the project if that is helpful (e. g. big releases) • Makes it easier to collaborate on a project – You don’t have to figure out whose laptop contains the current running version

cvsweb • Many people who run CVS use ‘cvsweb’ to make source code available via www – Makes good expert-level documentation – Analogous to having schematics online – Controls department does this • http: //www-bd. fnal. gov/cgi-acc/cvsweb. cgi/misc/midamper – It’s useful at the experiments, too • http: //cdfcodebrowser. fnal. gov/Cdf.
