[Lerftest-ctrls] how to pull EDM and other non-git files

Thu May 10 15:58:01 EDT 2018

Hi all,

Thanks to Hugo's efforts in patching a version of CVS (the default version doesn't support certain features we need to properly configure remote access for everyone), we can now remotely access SLAC CVS repos from the LERF test facility. When you log in as softegr on lclsapp1, it should set up your CVSROOT environment variable correctly, provided you've already added your desired SSH tunnel port  in /home/softegr/setup/git-tunnel-ports.bash.

Then you can do:

$ cvs <command>

which should then ask you for your SLAC credentials to log in, e.g.:

$ cvs co tools/script/lclshome

Let me know if you have any problems.

Again, thanks to Hugo for helping get this to work.

Hi all,

Sorry for my delayed reply.

Yes, I was referring to applications in places like $TOOLS/script that are
*not* in eco, as Patrick suggested.

Thanks, Patrick for looking into a method to handle this.

Not every application has been ported over to git, and not every application has been explicitly version controlled in the past. We have instances where *in-use* production applications are actually symlinks to names like "app1.9" or something. It's a good opportunity to initiate tracking for any module or application we find like that. Bear in mind that doing so does NOT affect production at all, it just puts the module/application into a state where we can track and deploy it using our existing version control and other tools infrastructure (e.g. git, eco, cram, etc).
