Setup TortiseCVS 1.10.10

I have downloaded TortiseCVS 1.10.10 and want to setup for personal use on my computer. It will serves as a repository for my codes.

Setting up the cvs…

1) Download from the official website and install by running the exe file. This should be quite fool proof =p

2) Next is to start the CVSNT Server from the Control Panel. To be able to use the cvs with minimum configuration, under the Repository configuration tab, I have entered a name for the server. Next, click on the Add button to add a new server. After filling in the details and clicking Ok, there will be a warning to initialize the repository. Just go ahead with do it.

I have entered C:/Project as the location, so a CVSROOT directory will be created in C:/Project.

3) Next, under the About tab, start both the CVSNT and CVSNT Lock service.

4) Open a command prompt window. Type in the following to set the cvsroot. Of course substitute the [computername] with the name of the computer the cvsnt is running on.

set cvsroot=:sspi:[computername]:/project

5) Afterwhich, type the following to set a password for the user admin.
cvs passwd -a admin

6) Finally to test if everything is working correctly, I have tried to add a repository in Eclipse IDE with the following settings. And it works =)
