Usage of CVS

[Christoph Reinermann]

Dear Sirs,

 

I have installed cvs-1.11.1p1 on a LINUX-Computer (Mandrake)

logged in as root. As described in the file INSTALL the

target was: /usr/local/bin/cvs.

 

Next I have created the directory:

mkdir /src

mkdir  /src/master

 

Then I have created the environmentvariable:

CVSROOT=/src/master

 

and exported it with:

export CVSROOT

 

Next I have inited a new archiv with

/usr/local/bin/cvs init

 

I do not have an existing archive which can be imported.

I want to create a totaly new archiv.

In the dirctory /temp/temp I have some Datafiles test1.dat and test2.dat

which shall be put under versioncontrol.

 

I copied the files test1.dat and test2.dat to /src/master

and entered:

/usr/local/bin/cvs  add -kb  test1.dat

 

As result I got the message : "panic administrative files are missing"

How do I get the administrative files?

Which steps have to be done for checking in the above mentioned files?

 

best regards

Christoph Reinermann
