Including 3rd party code in CVS

Let's say we want to import the excellent database abstraction layer ADOdb version 3.60 into our CVS repository:

get it
Copy to clipboard
$ wget http://phplens.com/lens/dl/adodb360.tgz $ tar xvzf adodb360.tgz $ rm adodb360.tgz $ cd adodb $ cvs import -m 'Imported ADOdb 3.60' _adodb PHPLENS_COM R3_60 $ cd .. $ rm -fr adodb

Now, we're going to check it out from CVS and fix a bug we found:

Copy to clipboard
$ cvs checkout _adodb $ cd _adodb <i>...hack, chop, whittle...</i> $ cvs commit -m "Fixed bug #12345: Replace doesn't use native REPLACE command, if available" $ cd .. $ rm -fr _adodb

Now, we want to upgrade to version 3.70:

Copy to clipboard
$ wget http://phplens.com/lens/dl/adodb370.tgz $ tar xvzf adodb370.tgz $ rm adodb370.tgz $ cd adodb $ cvs import -m 'Imported ADOdb 3.70' _adodb PHPLENS_COM R3_70

This command completed successfully, but reported the following:

Copy to clipboard
1 conflicts created by this import. Use the following command to help the merge: cvs checkout -j -jR3_70 _adodb

So, let's delete the imported directory:

Copy to clipboard
$ cd .. $ rm -fr adodb

And checkout as instructed above. You will find out the prev_rel_tag by looking at a file in sourceforge http://tikiwiki.cvs.sourceforge.net/tikiwiki/_adodb

Copy to clipboard
$ cvs checkout -jR3_60 -jR3_70 _adodb $ cd _adodb $ grep -r '<<<<<<' *

Manually resolve any conflicts that were reported.

Now, let's commit our 3.60 changes into 3.70:

Copy to clipboard
$ cvs commit -m 'Merged our 3.60 changes into 3.70'

And finally remove our directory:

Copy to clipboard
$ rm -fr _adodb

merge to branch

All the above being done on HEAD, it can be convenient to cascade the upgrade on branches. Usual tiki merges occur usually from branch to HEAD, now it's the contrary for such third party libs.

Copy to clipboard
$ cvs co -r BRANCH-1-9 _adodb $ cd _adodb $ cvs up -jHEAD

Then fix conflicts and commit

Copy to clipboard
$ grep -r '<<<<<<<' * # .. hack and fix $ cvs ci -m'applied tiki former changes to adodb 3.70'
