Getting Started

ClubMacApp's service is based on CVS, or Concurrent Version Systems. You must use MacCVS Pro as your client application. A MacCVS Pro session file customized for your use is provided as part of your ClubMacApp subscription materials.

Line Endings

We have elected to use unix-style line endings for all source files. The MacCVS Pro session file you received as part of your subscription packet have been set up with unix-style line endings. We made this choice because all commonly used Macintosh software development tools support unix-style line endings.

If you would prefer, you may change your session file to support Mac-style line endings. It doesn't really matter since whenever a source file is checked in to a CVS repository the line endings are converted to unix-style; and when you check out a source code file the line endings are converted back to the style you've selected in your session file.

If you choose to change your session file line endings specifications be extra careful not to change any settings for binary files.

Let us know immediately by if you encounter any problems.
