Summary: How do you commit a file to CVS

Initial Comment:
I have fixed my vey first bug, but am unsure how to
update the CVS repository. Also I do not have write
access to fanfoot.com test folder where the internet
version config files are kept.

I will read up on CVS again. I will return if I get stuck.

Worked out how to do it. I did also first update my local
copy from the CVS repository.

It is, as you say, as simple as right-clicking and selecting
commit. Once you've added a note on the changes made, away
it goes.

Wohooo!! Well done!

Updating the CVS repository is bery easy, once you have set up write 
access to the CVS server (only available to developers on the project). 
The terminology is that you want to "sommit" your changes. This should 
help find it in the manual for your CVS client.

In most cases you simply commit your changes to any particular file, CVS 
handles everything for you. However, sometimes, there is a conflict 
between your change and one made by someone else. If this ever 
happens CVS will tell you it cannot commit the file and that you need to 
merge your changes manually (there are some tricks to help with this, 
but we can tackle that at a different time)

The easiest way to avoid "merge conflicts" as they are called si to always 
update your local copy before you do any editing.

Let me know if you can;t work out how to commit your changes, if you 
do then close this support item.

Once again, thanks for fixing this bug :-)
