Setting up cvs with workspace
I am evaluationg zues for use at work. We have a large body of python source code that we have under version control using cvs. I have successfully setup a workspace that includes all our folders etc. but I am struggling on how to setup the cvs to work on our project. The source is already gotten locally.. I checked this forum and the tips etc, but saw no cookbook etc. on how to set this up. Any help is greatly appreciated
For more information on how to set up the Zeus CVS I would do the following:
1) Take a look at the CVS setup tutorial found here:
I would suggest only reading this document at present, since the next step will deal with the actual configuration details.
2) Next I would create a dummy project/workspace on your local machine, with just one or two files. Then right mouse click on the project and use the Add to Source control to add this project to a local CVSROOT location.
The process of adding the project will prompt you to define the CVSROOT location details.
If the create step reports no errors then Zeus will have created the CVS project in the local CVSROOT location and it will also have filled in the version control setting found in the Workspace, Options menu.
You should take a look at these values and compare them to the tutorial, to get a feel for how the Zeus CVS setup works.
3) Once you have the local CVS working the next step is to setup the CVSROOT, project name, local paths for you remote repository/project .
To do this just construct suitable setup strings based on the information you learned form steps 1 and 2 and add these details to the version control section of the real project workspace using the Workspace, Options menu.
NOTE: CVS is very particular about the directory structure so when it does not appear to be working this is most probably the reason.
Cheers Jussi.

I am trying to follow the instructions both from your posting and the documentation, but I am unable to allow it to add the project to cvs. It complains that cvs needs to be enabled for the workspace, and yet it is... I wonder if the zues cvs module is installed and setup properly? When I goto Tools -> Version Control setup, nothing is listed, the list is empty. Correspondingly, when I go to Workspace->Source Control-> options, the installed scc module list is emtpy...
